Image processing problems in general, and in particular in the field of single-particle cryo-electron microscopy, often require considering images up to their rotations and translations. Such problems were tackled successfully when…
Face alignment, which is the task of finding the locations of a set of facial landmark points in an image of a face, is useful in widespread application areas. Face alignment is particularly challenging when there are large variations in…
