Reviews: Deep Structured Prediction for Facial Landmark Detection

The integration of convnets with the conditional random fields to model the structural dependencies of facial landmarks during face alignment is nice contribution. Previously proposed methods in this direction were hybrid systems (eg. OpenFace versions) and not fully integrated. The authors evaluate on multiple datasets (300W, 300W-Video, Menpo & COFW-68) and compare results with other methods. Both inter- and cross-dataset performance are provided.
