Abstract
A method of generating landmark locations for an image crop comprises: processing the crop through an encoder-decoder to provide a plurality of N output maps of comparable spatial resolution to the crop, each output map corresponding to a respective landmark of an object appearing in the image crop; processing an output map from the encoder through a plurality of feed forward layers to provide a feature vector comprising N elements, each element including an (x,y) location for a respective landmark. Any landmarks locations from the feature vector having an x or a y location outside a range for a respective row or column of the crop are selected for a final set of landmark locations; with remaining landmark locations tending to be selected from the N (x,y) landmark locations from the plurality of N output maps.
