Identifying Gender from Unaligned Facial Images by Set Classification
Abstract--Rough face alignments lead to suboptimal performance of face identification systems. In this study, we present a novel approach for identifying genders from facial images...

Robust Face Alignment Based on Hierarchical Classifier Network
Abstract. Robust face alignment is crucial for many face processing applications. As face detection only gives a rough estimation of face region, one important problem is how to al...

A Combined Feature-Texture Similarity Measure for Face Alignment under
We formulate face alignment as a model-based parameter estimation problem in this paper. First, we work within a framework that combines two separate subspace models to r epresent...
