gardenia

Gardenia is a face alignment project using Convolutional Neural Network. The project illstrate the training and testing process on 300W dataset.

Installation

• Download and install [caffe from xuzhenqi] (https://github.com/xuzhenqi/caffe/tree/eye_detection). We use both the c++ and python interfaces.
• Matlab

Train tutorial

We need first to prepare the data, suppose the original data root path are data/. Run

scripts/prepare.sh

To crop the testset and augment the trainset, and we will get the data/augment/train.txt, data/train_mean.blob and data/crop/test.txt. After preparing the data, we can run

scripts/train.sh

to train our model. The prototxt are set done on proto folder.

After training a model, suppose the model path to be $MODEL, run

python inference.py $prototxt $model $layername $root $filelists $outpath 
scripts/evalution.sh # report mean err on 300W dataset and CED curve.
