View-based active appearance models

We demonstrate that a small number of 2D linear statistical models are sufficient to capture the shape and appearance of a face from a wide range of viewpoints. Such models can be used to estimate head orientation and track faces through large angles. Given multiple images of the same face we can le...

Description
Summary:We demonstrate that a small number of 2D linear statistical models are sufficient to capture the shape and appearance of a face from a wide range of viewpoints. Such models can be used to estimate head orientation and track faces through large angles. Given multiple images of the same face we can learn a coupled model describing the relationship between the frontal appearance and the profile of a face. This relationship can be used to predict new views of a face seen from one view and to constrain search algorithms which seek to locate a face in multiple views simultaneously.
