Abstract

A new algorithm is proposed to extract the facial features and estimate the control points for facial image warping using the Principle Component Analysis (PCA) based statistic face model. In this algorithm, first a full-face model consisting the contour points and the control points is built. Based on a number of manually marked training samples, the prior distribution of the full-face model can be obtained by using the PCA. Given an input face image, first the contour points are obtained by using the recently developed Bayesian Shape Model (BSM), and then the control points are estimated from the contour points. Finally, the extracted face path is normalized using the piece-wise affine triangle warping algorithm. Experimental results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
