img2pose

Model Description

img2pose uses Faster R-CNN to predict 6 Degree of Freedom Pose (DoF) for all faces in the photo. An interesting property of this model is that it can project the 3D face onto a 2D plane to also identify bounding boxes for each face. It does not require any other face detection model.

Model Details

• Model Type: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)
• Architecture: Faster R-CNN
• Framework: PyTorch

Model Sources

• Repository: GitHub Repository
• Paper: img2pose: Face Alignment and Detection via 6DoF, Face Pose Estimation
