Active Appearance Modeling

I’ve been working on modeling facial expressions and head-pose, and recently came across two very good libraries.  One, Jason Mora Saragih’s work on shape modeling [1], and a library by GreatYao, aam-library.

Here I am using Jason’s library for automatically building a database of images with 67 facial landmarks tagged in each of them.

After 200 images of training, I use aam-library to build an active appearance model and register my own face with a reprojection.  The results are pretty fun:
