This dissertation focuses on the problem of locating features in frontal views of upright human faces. The dissertation starts with the Active Shape Model of Cootes et al. [19] and extends it with the following techniques: 1. Selectively using two-instead of one-dimensional landmark profiles. 2. Stacking two Active Shape Models in series. 3. Extending the set of landmarks. 4. Trimming covariance matrices by setting most entries to zero. 5. Using other modifications such as adding noise to the training set. The resulting feature locater is shown to compare favorably with previously published methods. 2014-07-31T10:54:45Z 2014-07-31T10:54:45Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5161 eng application/pdf Department of Electrical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
