Using Facial Landmark Localization in ROS2 Applications with the Horizon Hobot Platform

In this paper, we present the work using facial landmark localization in ROS2 applications with the Horizon Hobot Platform. This work includes the following three parts. Firstly, the Horizon Hobot Platform and the dlib framework are prepared in the Sunrise X3 Pi board, with the TogetherROS as the fundamental robot software framework. Secondly, the USB camera is configured to capture images, which are converted by the image decoding capabilities in the TogetherROS. Lastly, two distinct implementations for detecting facial landmarks are introduced. A comparative analysis has been conducted to assess the performance of these two implementations ultimately.
