# Eos: A lightweight header-only 3D Morphable Model fitting library in modern C++11/14.
Eos is a tiny 3D Morphable 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 estimation, implementation of the _Gold Standard Algorithm_ from Multiple View Geometry, Hartley & Zisserman
* 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.
## Sample code
See [examples/fit-model.cpp](https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos/blob/master/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 with:
`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 camera matrix and shape coefficients are available in the code via the API.
The code is fully documented with Doxygen, and an online version of the documentation can be accessed here (todo - add link). Alternatively, an up-to-date version can be built by setting `-DBUILD_DOCUMENTATION=on` and then building the `doc` target.
