Abstract



Finding fiducial facial points in any frame of a video showing
rich naturalistic facial behavior is an unsolved problem. Yet this
is a crucial step for geometric-feature-based facial expression
analysis, and methods that use appearance-based features
extracted at fiducial facial point locations.
In this paper we present a method based on a combination of
Support Vector Regression and Markov Random Fields to
drastically reduce the time needed to search for a point’s
location and increase the accuracy and robustness of the
algorithm.
Using Markov Random Fields allows us to constrain the search
space by exploiting the constellations that facial points can
form.

The regressors on the other hand learn a mapping between the
appearance of the area surrounding a point and the positions of
these points, which makes detection of the points very fast and
can make the algorithm robust to variations of appearance due
to facial expression and moderate changes in head pose.
The proposed point detection algorithm was tested on 1855
images, the results of which showed we outperform current
state of the art point detectors.

在具有丰富的自然面部行为的视频帧中进行面部关键特征点的定位是
一个尚未解决的问题。然而,对基于几何特征的面部表情分析以及需
要从面部关键特征点提取表观特征的方法而言,面部关键特征点的定
位是一个很重要的步骤。
本文提出了一种结合SVR和MRF的面部关键特征点定位方法。该方法
大大降低了搜索特征点的时间,并且提高了算法的精度和鲁棒性。
一方面,使用MRF对面部关键特征点的分布进行建模,以此来限制特
征点的搜索范围。
另一方面,通过SVR学习到了特征点周围区域的表观信息与特征点位
置的映射关系。该方法可以更快的检测特征点,并且对由面部表情和
头部姿态的适度变化引起的表观变化比较鲁棒。
我们在1855幅图像上测试了提出的面部特征点检测算法,实验表明,
本文的算法超越了当前state-of-the-art的算法。

The localization problem is formulated as finding the vector v
that relates a patch location L to the target point T.
This problem is decomposed into two separate regression
problem
 Regressor R is tasked with finding the angle  of v
 Regressor R is tasked with finding the length  of v
As we can see, the regressors give a good yet not a perfect
indication of where the target point is.

Note that although the location of the pupil is a global minimum,
the predicted distance at that location is not zero.

Such errors can be removed
by using a iterative procedure.

Each relative position of a pair of points {i, j} is a vector ri , j
pointing from one facial point to another
The relation between two vectors ri , j and rk ,l is described by two
parameters

Variables such as R and R are modeled as a Sigmoid
function. If a variable takes its value in [m , m ] , then
S ( x)  Psigm (min( x  m ,  x  m )), whereS (m )  S (m )  0.5

Once the pairwise relations are defined, the joint probability of
a configuration is modeled by a Markov Random Field.
The nodes correspond to each of the relative positions ri , j
Relation between ri , j  ( i , j , i , j ) and rk ,l  (k ,l , k ,l ) is modeled
as
