Analysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...

An Efficient Target Tracking Algorithm Based on Particle Filter and Genetic Algorithm

In this paper, we propose an efficient hybrid Particle Filter (PF) algorithm for video tracking by employing a genetic algorithm to solve the sample impoverishment problem. In the presented method, the object to be tracked is selected by a rectangular window inside which a few numbers of particles are scattered. The particles’ weights are calculated based on the similarity between feature vecto...

Shape-Specific Adaptations for Level-Set Deformable Model-Based Segmentation

In this paper we present two modifications to the original level set algorithm for implementation of deformable models. The modifications are motivated by difficulties that we have encountered in application of deformable models to segmentation of abdominal aortic aneurysm from computed tomography images. The level set algorithm has some advantages over the classical snake deformable models but...
