Editor-in-Chief Neil Donahue reflects on the second year of Environmental Science: Atmospheres and plans for three.

This paper describes unifying Active Appearance Model and Simulated Annealing for automatic Cephalometric analysis. A complete model of shape and texture was built from a dataset of manually annotated images, and then tested with unseen images. A comparison with Active Shape Models was presented. Twenty randomly selected cephalograms were used for training and seven cephalograms for testing. 25...

Statistical models of the shape and appearance of image structures can be matched to new images using both the Active Shape Model [7] algorithm and the Active Appearance Model algorithm [2]. The former searches along profiles about the current model point positions to update the current estimate of the shape of the object. The latter samples the image data under the current instance and uses th...

The deterministic active appearance model (AAM) tracker fails to track objects under occlusion. In this paper, we discuss two approaches to improve this tracker ’s robustness and tracking results. The first approach initialises the AAM tracker with a shape estimate obtained from an active contour, incorporating shape history into the tracker. The second approach combines AAMs and the particle f...
