Nevertheless, there exists no benchmark for 3D facial landmark tracking
in long in-the-wild videos. In ICCV'17 we present a new
benchmark for 3D landmark localization in videos. <br></span></span></font></div><div class="gmail-m_-2756257777764588756gmail-m_2249076982023619678gmail-m_7711756207376506834gmail_msg"><font
