Abstract: There are provided systems and methods for facial landmark detection using a convolutional neural network (CNN). The CNN comprises a first stage and a second stage where the first stage produces initial heat maps for the landmarks and initial respective locations for the landmarks. The second stage processes the heat maps and performs Region of Interest-based pooling while preserving feature alignment to produce cropped features. Finally, the second stage predicts from the cropped features a respective refinement location offset to each respective initial location. Combining each respective initial location with its respective refinement location offset provides a respective final coordinate (x,y) for each respective landmark in the image. Two-stage localization design helps to achieve fine-level alignment while remaining computationally efficient.
