• Abstract summary: KeyPoint Positioning System (KeyPosS) is first framework to deduce exact landmark coordinates by triangulating distances between points of interest and anchor points predicted by a fully convolutional network. Experiments on four datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, with KeyPosS outperforming existing methods in low-resolution settings despite minimal computational overhead.

• Abstract: Accurate facial landmark detection is critical for facial analysis tasks, yet prevailing heatmap and coordinate regression methods grapple with prohibitive computational costs and quantization errors. Through comprehensive theoretical analysis and experimentation, we identify and elucidate the limitations of existing techniques. To overcome these challenges, we pioneer the application of True-Range Multilateration, originally devised for GPS localization, to facial landmark detection. We propose KeyPoint Positioning System (KeyPosS) - the first framework to deduce exact landmark coordinates by triangulating distances between points of interest and anchor points predicted by a fully convolutional network. A key advantage of KeyPosS is its plug-and-play nature, enabling flexible integration into diverse decoding pipelines. Extensive experiments on four datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art performance, with KeyPosS outperforming existing methods in low-resolution settings despite minimal computational overhead. By spearheading the integration of Multilateration with facial analysis, KeyPosS marks a paradigm shift in facial landmark detection. The code is available at https://github.com/zhiqic/KeyPosS.

• DeDoDe: Detect, Don't Describe -- Describe, Don't Detect for Local Feature Matching [14.837075102089]
  Keypoint detection is a pivotal step in 3D reconstruction, whereby sets of (up to) K points are detected in each view of a scene. Previous learning-based methods typically learn descriptors with keypoints, and treat the keypoint detection as a binary classification task on mutual nearest neighbours. In this work, we learn keypoints directly from 3D consistency. To this end, we derive a semi-supervised two-view detection objective to expand this set to a desired number of detections. Results show that our approach, DeDoDe, achieves significant gains on multiple geometry benchmarks.
