# Face Alignment on 300W Challenge Source: [Face Alignment on 300W Challenge]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-02-26T05:53:26.205Z Evaluation of 2D facial landmark localization accuracy on the 300W Challenge dataset, typically measured using Normalized Mean Squared Error (NMSE). A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. | Scope | Recorded value | | --- | --- | | Task | Face Alignment | | Dataset (including any stated split) | 300W Challenge | | Metric | NMSE | | Unit | SCALAR | | Direction | Lower is better | | Results loaded | 19 of 19 | | Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark | Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol. ## Metrics - [NMSE](): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR. ## Recorded results | Method | NMSE | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | LaplaceKL | 6.71 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | LaplaceKL | 6.74 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | LaplaceKL | 6.87 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | LaplaceKL | 6.96 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | LaplaceKL | 7.01 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | Softargmax | 7.39 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | CFSS \[21\] | 7.56 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | CPM + SBR | 7.58 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | RCN+ (L+ELT) | 7.78 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | Softargmax | 7.9 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | Softargmax | 7.99 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | Softargmax | 8.06 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | Softargmax | 8.17 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | RCSR | 8.58 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | TCDCN | 8.6 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | CFSS \[46\] | 9.98 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | MDM | 10.14 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | LBF | 11.98 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | | SDM | 15.4 | Not recorded | 68fa663d1e209131cea0f17f | ### LaplaceKL NMSE: 6.71.
