Python Bindings to flandmark
This package is a simple Boost.Python wrapper to the (rather quick) open-source facial landmark detector flandmark. If you use this package, the author asks you to cite the following paper:

}Installation
To install these bindings, you will need the open-source library Bob installed somewhere. At least version 1.1 of Bob is required. If you have compiled Bob yourself and installed it on a non-standard location, you will need to note down the path leading to the root of that installation.
Just type:
$ python bootstrap.py
$ ./bin/buildoutIf Bob is installed in a non-standard location, remember to use the same
python interpreter that was used to compile Bob (replace <bob-root> with
the root of your local installation of Bob):
$ <bob-root>/bin/python bootstrap.py
$ PKG_CONFIG_PATH=<bob-root>/lib/pkgconfig ./bin/buildoutThe PKG_CONFIG_PATH variable will help buildout find the correct include
and link paths to your non-stock Bob installation.
Usage
Pretty simple, just do something like:
import bob
import flandmark
video = bob.io.VideoReader('myvideo.avi')
localize = flandmark.Localizer()
for frame in video:
print localize(frame)
