Face Landmarking Using Mediapipe

Introduction

We explored the Dlib 68-point facial landmark detector, which is considered one of the most ubiquitous detectors in the computer vision field due to the speed and reliability of the Dlib library. However, other facial landmark detection models have emerged.

In this lesson, we’ll present an overview of the Face Mesh solution from MediaPipe, which is capable of computing a 3D face mesh and estimating 468 face landmarks, as exhibited below:
