eos is a lightweight 3D Morphable Face Model fitting library that provides basic functionality to use face models, as well as camera and shape fitting functionality. 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`)
* Our low-resolution, shape-only 3D Morphable Face Model ([share/sfm_shape_3448.bin](https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos/blob/master/share/sfm_shape_3448.bin))
* Fast, linear pose, shape and expression fitting, edge and contour fitting:
 * Linear scaled orthographic projection camera pose estimation
 * Linear shape-to-landmarks fitting, implementation of O. Aldrian & W. Smith, _Inverse Rendering of Faces with a 3D Morphable Model_, PAMI 2013
 * Expression fitting, and 6 linear expression blendshapes: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, sadness, surprise
 * Edge-fitting, heavily inspired by: A. Bas et al., _Fitting a 3D Morphable Model to Edges: A Comparison Between Hard and Soft Correspondences_, ACCVW 2016
* Isomap texture extraction to obtain a pose-invariant representation of the face texture
* (_Experimental_): Non-linear fitting cost functions using Ceres for shape, camera, blendshapes and the colour model (needs Ceres to be installed separately)
* (_**New**, experimental_): Python bindings for parts of the library, and Matlab bindings for the fitting

## Usage

* 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`

**Make sure to clone with `--recursive` to download the required submodules!**

### Build the examples and tests

* 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:

```
git clone --recursive https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos.git
mkdir build && cd build # creates a build directory next to the 'eos' folder
cmake -G "<your favourite generator>" ../eos -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install/
make && make install # or open the project file and build in an IDE like Visual Studio
```
If some dependencies can't be found, copy `initial_cache.cmake.template` to `initial_cache.cmake`, edit the necessary paths and run `cmake` with `-C ../eos/initial_cache.cmake`.


## Sample code

The fit-model example app creates a 3D face from a 2D image.

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`

It will load the face model, landmark-to-vertex mappings, blendshapes, and other required files from the `../share/` directory, and run on the example image. It can be run on other images by giving it a `-i` parameter for the image and `-l` for a set of ibug landmarks. The full set of parameters can be viewed by running `fit-model --help`.

If you are just getting started, it is recommended to have a look at `fit-model-simple` too, as it requires much fewer input, and only fits pose and shape, without any blendshapes or edge-fitting. Its full set of arguments is:

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

The output in both cases 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.

See [examples/fit-model.cpp](https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos/blob/master/examples/fit-model.cpp) for the full code.

## The Surrey Face Model

The library includes a low-resolution shape-only version of the Surrey Morphable Face Model. It is a PCA model of shape variation built from 3D face scans. It comes with uv-coordinates to perform texture remapping.

The full model is available at [http://www.cvssp.org/facemodel](http://www.cvssp.org/facemodel).

## Python bindings

_Experimental_: eos includes python bindings for some of its functionality (and more can be added!). Set `-DGENERATE_PYTHON_BINDINGS=on` when running `cmake` to build them (and optionally set `PYTHON_EXECUTABLE` to point to your python interpreter if it's not found automatically).

After building the bindings, they can be used like any python module:

```
import eos
import numpy as np

model = eos.morphablemodel.load_model("eos/share/sfm_shape_3448.bin")
s = model.get_shape_model().draw_sample([1.0, -0.5, 0.7])
sample = np.array(s) # the conversion from 'Mat' to a numpy array is necessary at the moment

help(eos) # check the documentation
```

## Matlab bindings

_Experimental_: eos includes Matlab bindings for the `fit_shape_and_pose(...)` function, which means the fitting can be run from Matlab. Set `-DGENERATE_MATLAB_BINDINGS=on` when running `cmake` to build the required mex-file and run the `INSTALL` target to install everything. (Set `Matlab_ROOT_DIR` to point to your Matlab directory if it's not found automatically). More bindings (e.g. the MorphableModel itself) might be added in the future.

Go to the `install/eos/matlab` directory and run [`demo.m`](https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos/blob/master/matlab/demo.m) to see how to run the fitting. The result is a mesh and rendering parameters (pose).

## Documentation

Doxygen: http://patrikhuber.github.io/eos/doc/

The [fit-model example](https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos/blob/master/examples/fit-model.cpp) and the [Namespace List](http://patrikhuber.github.io/eos/doc/namespaces.html) in doxygen are a good place to start.
