ABSTRACT Accurate 3D craniofacial landmark detection is critical for applications in medicine and computer animation, yet remains challenging due to the complex geometry of craniofacial structures. In this work, we propose a coarse‐to‐fine framework for anatomical landmark localization on 3D craniof...
