Abstract
A system, neural network, and corresponding method generate 3D landmarks associated with an object in a 2D image. An embodiment is a system comprising a neural network detector configured to produce planar coordinates of landmarks at points of the object in the 2D image and a depth coordinate estimator. The planar coordinates include planar coordinate pairs. The depth coordinate estimator is configured to receive the 2D image and the planar coordinates and to estimate a depth coordinate for each planar coordinate pair of each landmark to generate the 3D landmarks. The system reduces network parameters from MB to KB and has better performance relative to state-of-the-art methods. The system may be configured to apply the 3D landmarks for face alignment, virtual face makeup, face recognition, eye gaze tracking, face synthesis, or other face related application.
