Unsupervised Facial Landmark Detection
13 papers with code • 6 benchmarks • 3 datasets
Facial landmark detection in the unsupervised setting popularized by [1]. The evaluation occurs in two stages: (1) Embeddings are first learned in an unsupervised manner (i.e. without labels); (2) A simple regressor is trained to regress landmarks from the unsupervised embedding.

We propose a new representation of visual data that disentangles object position from appearance.
AutoLink: Self-supervised Learning of Human Skeletons and Object Outlines by Linking Keypoints
Our key ingredients are i) an encoder that predicts keypoint locations in an input image, ii) a shared graph as a latent variable that links the same pairs of keypoints in every image, iii) an intermediate edge map that combines the latent graph edge weights and keypoint locations in a soft, differentiable manner, and iv) an inpainting objective on randomly masked images.
