We propose a new method for face alignment with part-based modeling. This method is competitive in terms of precision with existing methods such as Active Appearance Models, but is more robust and has a superior generalization ability due to its part-based nature. A variation of the Histogram of Oriented Gradients descriptor is used to model the appearance of each part and the shape information is represented with a set of landmark points around the major facial features. Multiple linear regression models are learnt to estimate the position of the landmarks from the appearance of each part. We verify our algorithm with a set of experiments on human faces and these show the competitive performance of our method compared to existing methods.
