Applying regression to other problems

Regressing image coordinates is applicable to several other applications, such as pose detection and fiducial point detection. Pose detection is the act of finding joint locations in a human, as shown here:

In the preceding image, multiple locations such as head, neck, shoulders, ankles, and hands were detected. This can be extended to all human parts. The regression we learned could be used for this application. Here is an example of fiducial point detection: 

Fiducial points are landmarks on the face ...
