Abstract:Active shape models(ASM) and active appearance model(AAM) are the primary methods of facial feature point localization.In this paper,an improved facial feature localization algorithm that combines ASM and AAM is proposed to overcome the shortcomings of the traditional ASM and AAM.ASM is used to locate the outer points,and the AAM is used to locate the inner points,which significantly improves the accuracy.Besides,the 2D contour is used on some key feature points to improve the accuracy of locati...
