Active Appearance Models is a small C++ library providing implementations for training, fitting and tracking active appearance models.
Implementation is based on [1]. Warning: this code is currently under heavy development and not suited for production usage.
Active Appearance Models requires the following pre-requisites
- CMake - for generating cross platform build files
- OpenCV - for image processing related functions
- Eigen 3.2.7 - for sparse linear system solving
To build from source
- Point CMake to the cloned git repository
- Click CMake Configure
- Point EIGEN_INCLUDE_DIR to the location of Eigen header directory
- Point OpenCV_DIR to the directory containing the file ´OpenCVConfig.cmake´
- Click CMake Generate
Although Active Appearance Models should build across multiple platforms and architectures, tests are carried out on these systems
- Windows 8/10 MSVC10 x86
- OS X 10.10 XCode 6.x
If the build should fail for a specific platform, don't hesitate to create an issue.
Active Appearance Models can be trained on the following test databases
- IMM Face Database [2] http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~aam/datasets/datasets.html
