Multiple Active Appearance Model을 이용한 얼굴 특징 추출 기법

Abstract

Active Appearance Model(AAM) is one of the facial feature extraction techniques. In this paper, we propose the Multiple Active Appearance Model(MAAM). Proposed method uses two AAMs. Each AAM trains using different training parameters. It causes that each AAM has different strong points. One AAM complements the weak points in the other AAM. We performed the facial feature extraction on the 100 images to verify the performance of MAAM. Experiment results show that MAAM gives more accurate results than AAM with less fitting iteration.
