Active Appearance:
An active appearance model (AAM) is a computer
vision algorithm for matching a statistical model of
object shape and appearance to a new image. They
are built during a training phase.
Suppose we have a statistical appearance model
Trained from sets of examples
How do we use it to interpret new images?
Use an “Active Appearance Model”
Iterative method of matching model to image
Interpreting Image
Place model in Measure Update Model
image Difference
Iterate
AAM Algorithm
• Initial estimate Im(p)
• Start at coarse resolution
• At each resolution
• Measure residual error, r(p)
• predict correction δp = Rr
• p ⇒ p - δp
• repeat to convergence
Applications of AAM
• Active appearance model (AAM) is a powerful generative
method for modeling deformable objects.
• The model decouples the shape and the texture variations of
objects, which is followed by an efficient gradient-based
model fitting method.
• The approach is widely used for matching and tracking
faces and for medical image interpretation.
3D Shape Models
Instead of using the 2D shape model, the 3D shape model is
applied to describe the geometry of human faces.
A 3D morphable model (3DMM) is a technique in the
computer graphics literature to synthesize different looking of
faces.
3DMM can generate different shapes and appearances of a
human face and preserve the naturalness of the generated
faces.
3DMM consists of the 3D shape and texture models. The 3D
shape model in 3DMM is of dense landmarks in order to
generate realistic faces.
Each landmark of the shape is extended from two dimensions
to three dimensions
3D morphable models are a powerful tool used for a variety of
applications in computer vision, face analysis, and face recognition,
as well as in computer graphics and animation.
