Region-based Deformable Appearance Models
|
|
The aim of this project is to develop methods for tracking deforming objects. A mesh model is used to model the object's shape and deformations, and a color texture map is used to model the object's color appearance. Photometric variations are also modeled. Nonrigid shape registration and motion tracking are achieved by posing the problem in terms of an energy-based, robust minimization procedure, which provides robustness to occlusions, wrinkles, shadows, and specular highlights. The algorithms run at frame-rate, and are tailored to take advantage of texture mapping hardware available in many workstations, PC's, and game consoles. The Active Blobs framework is one result of this effort. |
