This package is a simple Python wrapper to the (rather quick) open-source
facial landmark detector `Flandmark`_, **version 1.0.7** (or the github state
as of 10/february/2013).  If you use this package, the author asks you to cite
the following paper::

  @inproceedings{Uricar-Franc-Hlavac-VISAPP-2012,
    author =      {U{\v{r}}i{\v{c}}{\'{a}}{\v{r}}, Michal and Franc, Vojt{\v{e}}ch and Hlav{\'{a}}{\v{c}}, V{\'{a}}clav},
    title =       {Detector of Facial Landmarks Learned by the Structured Output {SVM}},
    year =        {2012},
    pages =       {547-556},
    booktitle =   {VISAPP '12: Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computer Vision Theory and Applications},
    editor =      {Csurka, Gabriela and Braz, Jos{\'{e}}},
    publisher =   {SciTePress --- Science and Technology Publications},
    address =     {Portugal},
    volume =      {1},
    isbn =        {978-989-8565-03-7},
    book_pages =  {747},
    month =       {February},
    day =         {24-26},
    venue =       {Rome, Italy},
    keywords =    {Facial Landmark Detection, Structured Output Classification, Support Vector Machines, Deformable Part Models},
    prestige =    {important},
    authorship =  {50-40-10},
    status =      {published},
    project =     {FP7-ICT-247525 HUMAVIPS, PERG04-GA-2008-239455 SEMISOL, Czech Ministry of Education project 1M0567},
    www = {http://www.visapp.visigrapp.org},
  }

You should also cite `Bob`_, as a core framework, in which these bindings are
based on::

  @inproceedings{Anjos_ACMMM_2012,
    author = {A. Anjos AND L. El Shafey AND R. Wallace AND M. G\"unther AND C. McCool AND S. Marcel},
    title = {Bob: a free signal processing and machine learning toolbox for researchers},
    year = {2012},
    month = oct,
    booktitle = {20th ACM Conference on Multimedia Systems (ACMMM), Nara, Japan},
    publisher = {ACM Press},
    url = {http://publications.idiap.ch/downloads/papers/2012/Anjos_Bob_ACMMM12.pdf},
