However, its performance is sensitive to initial parameter values. In this paper, we propose a two-stage AAM for robust face alignment, which first fits an inner face-AAM model to the inner facial feature points of the face and then localizes the whole face and facial features by optimizing the whole face-AAM model parameters. Experiments show that the proposed face alignment method using two-stage AAM is more reliable to the background and the head pose than the standard AAM-based face alignment method.}, journal = {International Journal of Computer and Information Engineering}, volume = {2}, number = {5}, year = {2008}, pages = {1682 - 1686}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/14248}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/17}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 17, 2008}, }
