How to convert STAR 98 landmarks to Face alignment 68 landmarks

[Droliven]

Thanks for your great job. Could I convert the STAR 98 landmarks to Face alignment 68 landmarks?

Hi @Droliven, thanks for your interest!

Yes, but the corresponding between 98pt (WFLW format) and 68pt (300W format) is not explicit (some discussion can be found here). On the other hand, we also provide the 68pt landmark detector (google / baidu). It can be used in demo.py.

If you have further question, feel free to leave comments.

Thks, Although we can calculate 68 key points using dlib as shown in the demo.py, I initially chose the STAR model because its network is transparent. I can use STAR to calculate the landmark gradient of my generated image for supervision , but dlib seems to be inconvenient for calculating gradients

I got it.

The absence of a transparent face detector in existing pipeline hinders the further application of STAR?
I will consider retraining a new face detector. Thanks for your suggestion!
