Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tzimiropoulos, G., & Pantic, M. (2013). Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild.

We describe a very simple framework for deriving the most-well known optimization problems in Active Appearance Models (AAMs), and most importantly for providing efficient solutions. Our formulation results in two optimization problems for fast and e... Read More about Optimization problems for fast AAM fitting in-the-wild.
