Abstract

A good algorithm for recognizing the parts of objects is characterized by three features: automatic, efficient, and accurate on noised, unseeninstances. Typical works in this field are good on one of these features,but short on the others. This talk will focus on face alignment, i.e.,
deform a model to identify the detailed facial features. I will describe our recent work on 2D and 3D face alignment, which has been used in a number of projects within and outside of CMU. I will describe the major differences between our method and previous methods, and explain the intuition behind them.
