Intro Most of existing approaches focus on learning effective mapping functions with robust image features to improve performance The approach to dealing with the initialization issue however, receives relatively fewer attentions. 4 i-VisionGroup@Tsinghua
Two-stage re-initialization Global stage + local stage Register input face region (part) to a canonical shape state Estimate the coarse face detection result (global) Refine the local estimation (local) 5 i-VisionGroup@Tsinghua
Two-stage re-initialization 6 i-VisionGroup@Tsinghua
Global stage Input: initial image + rough bounding box Two subnetwork: Re-initialization subnetwork: learn the transformation parameters (such as affine transformation) (TCDCN) Regression subnetwork: estimate the coarse shape (VGG-S) 7 i-VisionGroup@Tsinghua
Local stage Similar with the global stage, four parts separately Input: transformed image + rough estimation of shape Two subnetwork: Re-initialization subnetwork: similar (only one fully connected layer) Regression subnetwork: estimate the shape increment between two shapes (VGG-S) A layer: Inverse transformer 8 i-VisionGroup@Tsinghua
