What is Facial Landmark Detection?
AI technique for identifying specific points on a face such as eye corners, nose tip, mouth edges, and jawline contour.
How it works
Facial landmark detection locates specific anatomical points on faces in images or video. These landmarks enable face-aware AI generation, lip sync technology, expression transfer, and face tracking. Modern models detect 68+ landmarks per face with high accuracy. In AI video production, facial landmarks are used internally by lip sync systems to align mouth movements with audio, by face enhancement tools to apply targeted improvements, and by character consistency systems to maintain facial proportions across generations.
