First week Progress

In the first week of my Google Summer of code Project , I accomplished the following tasks :

• Added the class which would implement the face alignment algorithm as described in the research paper http://www.cvfoundation.org/openaccess/content_cvpr_2014/papers/Kazemi_One_Millisecond_Face_2014_CVPR_paper.pdf to the face module of opencv_contrib.
• Added basic functionality by implementing functions for proper loading of data and initialisation of the shape.

With this I achieved the following results :

The above images are taken from HELEN dataset which contains 194 landmarks for each face.

The above image face shows the initial shape assigned to the face while training.

Major problems that occurred :

• The face detector detects only the inner face . So some modifications had to be made so that initial shape is correctly assigned .
