A 3D model–based face detection method uses a predefined 3D face structure to guide and constrain the positions of facial keypoints (landmarks). This approach improves robustness under pose variations, occlusions, and lighting changes compared to purely 2D methods. Keypoint Detection Projects
ReplyDeleteCore Idea
Instead of detecting facial landmarks independently in 2D, the method:
Uses a 3D face model (generic or statistical)
Projects it onto the 2D image plane
Constrains detected keypoints to follow valid 3D facial geometry
This ensures that the predicted landmarks form a realistic human face shape. Image Processing Projects For Final Year
