Mean Face

Description

We utilize parts from the morphing part of this project, in this part. We first go through our database and collect all the female images and their respective corresponding points. To get the average face, we first warp all the images to the average face geometry and then we average out the pixels to get the average color. We show a few examples of merging some images from the sample to the average face. We also warp my face to the average geometry and warp the average face to my geometry. Whenever warping to another geometry, we simply use the coordinates of the triangulation and translate our source pixels to the coordinates of the destination coordinates using affine matrices in a similar manner as the first part. Lastly, we create a caricature of my face by using the average geometry plus the difference between my geometry and the average geometry times an alpha, which will eventually accent the differences in our features, creating a caricature.






The Average Female Face

Comprised of all female faces in the database.





Sample to the Average Face

Morphing two faces in our database to the average face and back.





Self to Average Female Face

Fitting my face to the average geometry.





Average Face to Self

Fitting the average face to my geometry.





Caricatures

Using the average face, accent my specific features to create a caricature. Used an alpha value of 1.2
