Description

See the keypoint map: https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs-models/blob/master/facemesh/mesh_map.jpg

In the ml5.js Facemesh model, we can consider providing some functions that return an array of keypoints for useful facial landmark ranges like the left eye, right eye, mouth, etc. For example:

facemeshInstance.getLeftEye() // returns [<keypoint 22>, <keypoint 23>, <keypoint 24>, ...]

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study the keypoint map image (https://github.com/tensorflow/tfjs models/blob/master/facemesh/mesh map.jpg) to identify index ranges for facial landmarks (e.g., left eye indices 33-37, right eye 263-267, etc.) and create corresponding getter methods in the ml5.js Facemesh model.
