A Probabilistic Fitness Measure for Deformable Template Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods for automatic image interpretation based on the use of deformable template models have proved very successful. Whatever deformable template scheme is used, one of the basic requirements is a method for assessing the likelihood that a particular model instance is the correct interpretation of a given image. We describe a Bayesian 'fitness' measure which combines the likelihood of the model shape with the evidential support in a principled way. Image search is carried out by minimising the fitness measure using multi-scale quasi-Newtonian optimisation. We have previously compared the performance of different fitness measures. Here we give results for the new method and show that, by making optimal use of the image evidence, it achieves more accurate interpretation than the best of the methods we have previously tested.

متن کاملDeformable templates for face recognition.
We describe an approach for extracting facial features from images and for determining the spatial organization between these features using the concept of a deformable template. This is a parameterized geometric model of the object to be recognized together with a measure of how well it fits the image data. Variations in the parameters correspond to allowable deformations of the object and can...

The problem of estimating probabilistic deformable template models in the field of computer vision or of probabilistic atlases in the field of computational anatomy has not yet received a coherent statistical formulation and remains a challenge. In this paper, we provide a careful definition and analysis of a well defined statistical model based on dense deformable templates for gray level imag...

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...
