Evaluation of 2D Face Alignment performance on the validation split of the COFW dataset, typically measured using Normalized Mean Error (NME) and False Rejection Rate (FR) metrics, often broken down by inter-ocular or inter-pupil distances.

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) | COFW (val) |
| Metric | Inter-Pupil NME |
| Unit | PERCENT |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 13 of 13 |
| 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

- [Inter-Pupil NME](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-alignment-on-cofw-val.md?metric=Inter-Pupil%20NME>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Inter-Ocular NME](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-alignment-on-cofw-val.md?metric=Inter-Ocular%20NME>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Inter-Ocular FR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-alignment-on-cofw-val.md?metric=Inter-Ocular%20FR>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.

- [Inter-Pupil FR](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/face-alignment-on-cofw-val.md?metric=Inter-Pupil%20FR>): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT.
