Face Recognition Using Active Appearance Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a new framework for interpreting face images and image sequences using an Active Appearance Model (AAM). The AAM contains a statistical, photo-realistic model of the shape and grey-level appearance of faces. This paper demonstrates the use of the AAM’s efficient iterative matching scheme for image interpretation. We use the AAM as a basis for face recognition, obtain good results for difficult images. We show how the AAM framework allows identity information to be decoupled from other variation, allowing evidence of identity to be integrated over a sequence. The AAM approach makes optimal use of the evidence from either a single image or image sequence. Since we derive a complete description of a given image our method can be used as the basis for a range of face image interpretation tasks.

Face Detection and Recognition in Video-Streams
Using the Viola Jones face detection algorithm and Active Appearance Models, it is shown that high success rate face-recognition in video-streams is possible with a relatively low processing time. Limitations in the Active Appearance Model Software by Stegmann et al. [15] forced us discard the original thought of doing a recognition based on parameters from a match, using a general model of the...
متن کاملShape Invariant Recognition of Segmented Human Faces using Eigenfaces
This paper describes an efficient approach for face recognition as a two step process: 1) segmenting the face region from an image by using an appearance based model, 2) using eigenfaces for person identification for segmented face region. The efficiency lies not only in generation of appearance models which uses the explicit approach for shape and texture but also the combined use of the afore...
متن کاملActive Appearance Models for Face Recognition
A growing number of applications are starting to use face recognition as the initial step towards interpreting human actions, intention, and behaviour, as a central part of next-generation smart environments. Recognition of facial expressions is an important example of face-recognition techniques used in these smart environments. In order to be able to recognize faces, there are some difficulti...
متن کاملOn the Dimensionality of Deformable Face Models
Model-based face analysis is a general paradigm with applications that include face recognition, expression recognition, lipreading, head pose estimation, and gaze estimation. A face model is first constructed from a collection of training data, either 2D images or 3D range scans. The face model is then fit to the input image(s) and the model parameters used in whatever the application is. Most...
متن کاملFacial Expression Recognition Using Active Appearance Models
A framework for automatic facial expression recognition combining Active Appearance Model (AAM) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is proposed. Seven different expressions of several subjects, representing the neutral face and the facial emotions of happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear and disgust were analysed. The proposed solution starts by describing the human face by an AAM model,...
متن کاملMulti-band modelling of appearance
Earlier work has demonstrated generative models capable of synthesising near photo-realistic grey-scale images of objects. These models have been augmented with colour information, and recently with edge information. This paper extends the Active Appearance Model framework by modelling the appearance of both derived feature bands and an intensity band. As a special case of featureband augmented...
