Face alignment using a deep neural network with local feature learning and recurrent regression

作者:

Highlights:

• We generate a global feature map using a network that trained a local feature on face.

• Using a local feature extraction layer, local features are selectively investigated.

• Landmark positions are estimated via regression on the extracted feature recurrently.

• Extracted features from generated global feature map show distinctive property.

• Face alignment via proposed method shows a state-of-the-art result on public dataset.
