Recurrent Shape Regression.

An end-to-end network architecture, the Recurrent Shape Regression (RSR), is presented to deal with the task of facial shape detection, a crucial step in many computer vision problems. The RSR generalizes the conventional cascaded regression into a recurrent dynamic network through abstracting common latent models with stage-to-stage operations. Instead of invariant regression transformation, we construct shape-dependent dynamic regressors to attain the recurrence of regression action itself.

Towards Robust and Accurate Multi-View and Partially-Occluded Face Alignment.

Face alignment acts as an important task in computer vision. Regression-based methods currently dominate the approach to solving this problem, which generally employ a series of mapping functions from the face appearance to iteratively update the face shape hypothesis. One keypoint here is thus how to perform the regression procedure.
