Evaluation of facial landmark localization accuracy on the challenging subset of the 300-W dataset, 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 | Facial Landmark Localization |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | 300-W (Challenging set) |
| Metric | NME |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 32 of 32 |
| 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/facial-landmark-localization-on-300-w-challenging-set.md?metric=NME>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
