An Empirical Study of Recent Face Alignment Methods

Mirror, mirror on the wall, tell me, is the error small?

no code implementations CVPR 2015 Heng Yang, Ioannis Patras

Our experiments lead to several interesting findings: 1) Surprisingly, most of state of the art methods struggle to preserve the mirror symmetry, despite the fact that they do have very similar overall performance on the original and mirror images; 2) the low mirrorability is not caused by training or testing sample bias - all algorithms are trained on both the original images and their mirrored versions; 3) the mirror error is strongly correlated to the localization/alignment error (with correlation coefficients around 0. 7).
