Efficient ear alignment using a two‐stack hourglass network by Anja Hrovatič, Peter Peer, Vitomir Štruc, Žiga Emeršič

“…For the first (landmark detection) step, the authors implement and train a Two‐Stack Hourglass model (2‐SHGNet) capable of accurately predicting 55 landmarks on diverse ear images captured in uncontrolled conditions. For the second (alignment) step, the authors use the Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) algorithm to align the estimated landmark/fiducial points with a pre‐defined ear shape (i.e. a collection of average ear landmark positions). …”
