Evaluation of 2D facial landmark localization accuracy on the AFLW dataset using the PIFA protocol, specifically evaluating all 34 defined landmark points, typically measured using Normalized Mean Error (NME).

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) | AFLW-PIFA (all 34 points) |
| Metric | NME (%) |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 2 of 2 |
| 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

- [NME (%)](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-alignment-on-aflw-pifa-all-34-points.md?metric=NME%20(%25)>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

## Recorded results
