Feature point detection is an important pre-processing step for quantitative evaluation of facial paralysis. Since the conventional methods such as active shape model (ASM) or active appearance model (AAM) are trained by using normal face and they are not possible to detect the feature points accurately for the face with paralysis. In this paper, we propose an automatic and accurate feature point detection method for quantitative evaluation of facial paralysis using deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN). The proposed method consists of two steps. We first use AAM for initial feature point detection. In the second step, a patch with the detected point at the center is used as an input of DCNN for refinement. Experiments demonstrated that the proposed method can significantly improve the detection accuracy of the conventional AAM.
