Manifold-based constraints for operations in face space

作者:

Highlights:

• We decompose statistical face models into identity and distinctiveness subspaces.

• The identity subspace forms a hyperspherical manifold that we validate empirically.

• The manifold provides non-linear alternatives to warping and averaging.

• We use the manifold to constrain optimisation-based model fitting.

• This outperforms two existing algorithms on over- and under-constrained problems.
