Face-align-Cao

FaceAligment-Torch7 binding

The main algorithm is presented by Xudong Cao et al. in "Face Alignment by Explicit Shape Regression" (CVPR 2012). http://research.microsoft.com/pubs/192097/cvpr12_facealignment.pdf

And the algorithm source code is reimplemented by Bi Sai. https://github.com/soundsilence/FaceAlignment

Dependencies

Only requirement is openCV and can be installed by, for example on Ubuntu

sudo apt-get install libopencv-dev

or on MAC,

brew tap homebrew/science
brew install opencv

Build

To build and install the binding, you need to

make

or

make install

Test

The algorithm requires a pre-trained model. The model pretrained on COFW dataset can be downloaded from [here] (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0tUTCaZBkccOGZTcjJNcDMwa28/edit?usp=sharing).

and place model.txt in your working directory. Then, run the testing script.

qlua test-camera.lua    # use camera input
qlua test-image.lua     # use static image
qlua test-dataset.lua   # convert dataset
