Description

Currently, the shape predictor training example showcases how to provide training and test data using integer coordinates.

Hoever, I would like to train a shape predictor using float coordinate pairs. I hope to gain increased precision by doing so. Since the shape predictor is also giving float numbers as output, I would assume that this should be possible.

However, there is no documentation to be found on the input format.

I'm happy to extend the documentation as soon as I know how this works.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how the shape predictor training data is parsed from XML. The current code expects integer coordinates; modify it to accept floating point points (dpoint). Look at the training example and the relevant C++ source files for parsing.
