Keypoints-based estimation of face bounding box

A method, comprising:

• receiving an image that includes an object;
• detecting a set of facial keypoints on a face of the object in the image, wherein the set of facial keypoints corresponds to a set of facial features of the object;
• identifying a face pose of the object in the image, based on the detected set of facial keypoints;
• computing a set of values that is associated with a size and a position of a face bounding box in the image, based on the identified face pose and locations of the set of facial keypoints in the image;
• and
• overlaying the face bounding box on the image based on the computed set of values.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon, computer-executable instructions which, when executed by an electronic device, cause the electronic device to execute operations, the operations comprising:

• receiving an image that includes an object;
• detecting a set of facial keypoints on a face of the object in the image, wherein the set of facial keypoints corresponds to a set of facial features of the object;
• identifying a face pose of the object in the image, based on the detected set of facial keypoints;
• computing a set of values that is associated with a size and a position of a face bounding box in the image, based on the identified face pose and locations of the set of facial keypoints in the image;
• and
• overlaying the face bounding box on the image based on the computed set of values.
