Robust Active Appearance Model Matching
نویسندگان
چکیده
A novel robust active appearance model (AAM) matching algorithm is presented. The method consists of two main stages. First, initial residuals are clustered by a non parametric mean shift mode detection step. Second, modes without gross outliers are selected using an objective function. Robustness of the matching procedure is demonstrated on a variety of examples with different noise conditions. The proposed algorithm outperformed the conventional AAM matching on images with gross disturbances and can tolerate up to 40% of disturbed data.

Face Model Adaptation using Robust Matching and Active Appearance Models
This paper addresses the 3D tracking of pose and animation of the human face in monocular image sequences using deformable 3D models. For each frame, the proposed adaptation is split into two consecutive stages: global and local. In the first stage, the 3D pose of the face is recovered using a RANSAC-based technique involving both the consensus measure and the consistency with a statistical mod...
متن کاملInterpreting Face Images Using Active Appearance Models
We demonstrate a fast, robust method of interpreting face images using an Active Appearance Model (AAM). An AAM contains a statistical model of shape and grey-level appearance which can generalise to almost any face. Matching to an image involves finding model parameters which minimise the difference between the image and a synthesised face. We observe that displacing each model parameter from ...
متن کاملActive Wavelet Networks for Face Alignment
The active appearance model (AAM) algorithm has proved to be a successful method for face alignment and synthesis. By elegantly combining both shape and texture models, AAM allows fast and robust deformable image matching. However, the method is sensitive to partial occlusions and illumination changes. In such cases, the PCA-based texture model causes the reconstruction error to be globally spr...
متن کاملGabor texture in active appearance models
In computer vision applications, Active Appearance Models (AAMs) is usually used to model the shape and the gray-level appearance of an object of interest using statistical methods, such as PCA. However, intensity values used in standard AAMs cannot provide enough information for image alignment. In this paper, we firstly propose to utilize Gabor filters to represent the image texture. The bene...
متن کاملGenerative face alignment through 2.5D active appearance models
This work addresses the matching of a 3D deformable face model to 2D images through a 2.5D Active Appearance Models (AAM). We propose a 2.5D AAM that combines a 3D metric Point Distribution Model (PDM) and a 2D appearance model whose control points are defined by a full perspective projection of the PDM. The advantage is that, assuming a calibrated camera, 3D metric shapes can be retrieved from...
