ABSTRACT:
A method for performing shape localization in an image includes deriving a model shape from a database of a plurality of sample shapes. The model shape is defined by a set of landmarks. The method further includes deriving a texture likelihood model of present sub-patches of the set of landmarks defining the model shape in the image, and proposing a new set of landmarks that approximates a true location of features of the shape based on a sample proposal model of the present sub-patches. A CONDENSATION algorithm is used to derive the texture likelihood model and the proposed new set of landmarks.
