Introduction

This page contains the Helen dataset used in the experiment of exemplar-based graph matching (EGM) [1] for facial landmark detection. The original Helen dataset [2] adopts a highly detailed annotation. We re-labeled 348 images with the same 29 landmarks as the LFPW dataset [3]. In addition, we provide MATLAB interface code for loading and visualizing the facial landmarks on images.

Installation

1. Unzip helen.zip to your folder;
2. Run demoHelen.

Instructions

The package of helen.zip contains the following files and folders:

• ./data: This folder contains the images and labels of the Helen dataset.
• ./lib: This folder contains some library functions for visualizing facial landmark on images
• ./demoHelen.m: An interface demo for visualizing image and facial landmarks.
