eos is a tiny 3D Morphable Face Model fitting library that provides just the bare minimum to load a model and perform camera and shape fitting. It's written in modern C++11/14.

At the moment, it mainly provides the following functionality:

• MorphableModel class to represent a 3DMM (using OpenCVs cv::Mat)
• Camera pose estimation, implementation of:
  • the Gold Standard Algorithm for estimating an affine camera matrix, from Multiple View Geometry, Hartley & Zisserman
  • a non-linear algorithm that directly estimates the pose angles and camera translation
• Shape fitting, implementation of the linear shape-to-landmarks fitting of O. Aldrian & W. Smith, Inverse Rendering of Faces with a 3D Morphable Model, PAMI 2013
• Isomap texture extraction to obtain a pose-invariant representation of the face texture.

• Tested with the following compilers: >=gcc-4.8.4, >=clang-3.5, Visual Studio 2015
• Needed dependencies for the library: Boost system (>=1.50.0), OpenCV core (>=2.4.3)

To use the library in your own project, just add the following directories to your include path:

• eos/include
• eos/3rdparty/cereal-1.1.1/include
• eos/3rdparty/glm-0.9.7.0

• Needed dependencies for the example app: CMake (>=2.8.10), Boost system, filesystem, program_options (>=1.50.0), OpenCV core, imgproc, highgui (>=2.4.3).

To build:

• copy initial_cache.cmake.template to initial_cache.cmake, edit the necessary paths
• create a build directory next to the eos folder: mkdir build; cd build
• cmake -C ../eos/initial_cache.cmake -G "<your favourite generator>" ../eos -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install/
• build using your favourite tools, e.g. make; make install or open the solution in Visual Studio.

See examples/fit-model.cpp.

After make install or running the INSTALL target, an example image with landmarks can be found in install/bin/data/. The model and the necessary landmarks mapping file are installed to install/share/.

You can run the example just by running:

fit-model

Or, by manually specifying the face model, landmark vertex mappings, an image and its 2D landmarks:

fit-model -m ../share/sfm_shape_3448.bin -p ../share/ibug2did.txt -i data/image_0010.png -l data/image_0010.pts

The output is an obj file with the shape and a png with the extracted isomap. The estimated pose angles and shape coefficients are available in the code via the API.

The fit-model example and the Namespace List in doxygen are a good place to start.
