Where is Face Alignment? #324

Closed DungLeMTA closed 1 year ago

DungLeMTA commented 1 year ago

As my opinion, this repository is the Landmarks of Face, it is not Face Alignment? Where I can find it?

You are right. It is just a landmarks detection tool. The name is missleading.

Face alignment and key points localisation are used interchangeable in the literature. The former reflects the historical way of detecting the facial fiducial points on a face by aligning a shape model to a face. See for definition: https://link.springer.com/referenceworkentry/10.1007/978-0-387-73003-5_186

Given the points, one can compute a transformation to align the textures of two face too, using for example a shape model. There are a few implementation around, some that points detected with this repo. Note however that this goes beyound the scope of this repo, which is to offer an implementation for our paper.
