Object landmark discovery through unsupervised adaptation (2019)
Journal Article
Sanchez, E., & Tzimiropoulos, G. (2019). Object landmark discovery through unsupervised adaptation. Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems, 32,

This paper proposes a method to ease the unsupervised learning of object landmark detectors. Similarly to previous methods, our approach is fully unsupervised in a sense that it does not require or make any use of annotated landmarks for the target o...
