In this recipe, we will learn about detecting the key points of a human face, which are the boundaries of the left and right eyes, the nose, and the four coordinates of the mouth.
Here are two sample pictures with the key points:
Note that the key points that we are expected to detect are plotted as dots in this picture. A total of 68 key points are detected on the image of face, where the key points of the face include - Mouth, right eyebrow, left eyebrow, right eye, left eye, nose, jaw.
In this case study, we will leverage the VGG16 transfer learning technique that we learned in the Gender classification in image using the VGG16 architecture-based model section to detect the key points on the face.
