The present application disclosed a method and system for detecting facial landmarks of a face image. The method may comprise extracting multiple feature maps from at least one facial region of the face image and/or the whole face image; generating a shared facial feature vector from the extracted multiple feature maps; and predicting facial landmark locations of the face image from the generated shared facial feature vector. With the present method and system, the facial landmark detection can be optimized together with heterogeneous but subtly related task, so that the detection robustness can be improved through multi-task learning.
