Abstract

In this paper we study the relationship between multiview Active Appearance Model (AAM) fitting and camera calibration. In the first part of the paper we propose an algorithm to calibrate the relative orientation of a set of N 1 cameras by fitting an AAM to sets of N images. In essence, we use the human face as a (non-rigid) calibration grid. Our algorithm calibrates a set of 2 脳 3 weak-perspective camera projection matrices, projections of the world coordinate system origin into the images, depths of the world coordinate system origin, and focal lengths. We demonstrate that the performance of this algorithm is comparable to a standard algorithm using a calibration grid. In the second part of the paper we show how calibrating the cameras improves the performance of multi-view AAM fitting.
