  The Accuracy of Facial Landmark Models in Different Facial Expressions
  Author(s): Weng Yu-Ching*, Jian Jhen-Yu and Tsuo-Hung Lan
  
  In this study, we tested the accuracy of three distinct facial landmark models-68-point, 83-point, and 106-point-on the same individual exhibiting different facial expressions. Our findings highlight that the 83-point model, which is inspired by the anatomical structure of facial retaining ligaments, significantly outperforms the other models in terms of accuracy. Unlike the 68-point and 106-point models, the 83-point model maintains consistent interpretation and precise landmark positioning, regardless of changes in facial expressions. This robustness makes the 83-point model particularly valuable for applications requiring reliable facial analysis. The implications of our study are far-reaching. The 83-point model's ability to provide consistent and precise facial landmark identification can greatly enhance clinical and practical outcomes in several areas. In disease management,..
