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 and PcaModel classes to represent 3DMMs, with basic operations likedraw_sample(). Supports the Surrey Face Model (SFM), 4D Face Model (4DFM), Basel Face Model (BFM) 2009 and 2017, and the Liverpool-York Head Model (LYHM) out-of-the-box
• The low-resolution, shape-only Surrey Face Model (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, with 6 linear expression blendshapes of the SFM: 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
• Texture extraction to obtain a pose-invariant representation of the face texture
• Python bindings: Much of eos's functionality is available as a python module (trypip install eos-py!)
• (Experimental): Non-linear fitting cost functions using Ceres for shape, camera, blendshapes and the colour model (needs Ceres to be installed separately)

An experimental model viewer to visualise 3D Morphable Models and blendshapes is availablehere.

• Tested with the following compilers: >=gcc-6, >=clang-5, >=Visual Studio 2017 15.5, >=Xcode 9.2.
• The library and python bindingsdo not require any external dependencies. The example applications require Boost (>=1.71.0) and OpenCV (>=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/include
• eos/3rdparty/nanoflann/include
• eos/3rdparty/eigen/Eigen
• eos/3rdparty/eigen3-nnls/src
• eos/3rdparty/toml11

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

• Needed dependencies for the example app: CMake (>=3.8.2, or >=3.10.0 for MSVC), Boost system, filesystem, program_options (>=1.71.0), OpenCV core, imgproc, highgui (>=2.4.3).

To build:

git clone --recursive https://github.com/patrikhuber/eos.gitmkdir build && cd build # creates a build directory next to the 'eos' foldercmake -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

It is strongly recommended to usevcpkg to install the dependencies on Windows.Users who wish to manage dependencies manually may find it helpful to copyinitial_cache.cmake.template toinitial_cache.cmake, edit the necessary paths and runcmake with-C ../eos/initial_cache.cmake. On Linux, you may also want to set-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=... appropriately.

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

Aftermake install or running theINSTALL target, an example image with landmarks can be found ininstall/bin/data/. The model and the necessary landmarks mapping file are installed toinstall/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 runningfit-model --help.

If you are just getting started, it is recommended to have a look atfit-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/ibug_to_sfm.txt -i data/image_0010.png -l data/image_0010.pts

The output in both cases is anobj file with the shape and apng with the extracted texture map. The estimated pose angles and shape coefficients are available in the code via the API.

Seeexamples/fit-model.cpp for the full code.

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 athttp://www.cvssp.org/facemodel.

eos can be used to load, use and do basic fitting with the 4D Face Model (4DFM) from4dface Ltd. The model features 39 expressions/action units, and diverse identity variation.

More information about the model can be found onwww.4dface.io/4dfm.

eos includes python bindings for some of its functionality (and more can be added!). It can be installed fromPyPI withpip install eos-py. You will still need the data files from this repository.Make sure that you've got >=gcc-7 or >=clang-5 as the default compiler on Linux (for example from theubuntu-toolchain-r/test repository) or doCC=`which gcc-7` CXX=`which g++-7` pip install eos-py. Also make sure you've got >=cmake-3.8.2 (or >=cmake-3.10.0 for MSVC) in your path.In case of issues, the bindings can also be built manually: Clone the repository and set-DEOS_GENERATE_PYTHON_BINDINGS=on when runningcmake (and optionally setPYTHON_EXECUTABLE to point to your python interpreter if it's not found automatically).

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

import eosimport numpy as npmodel = eos.morphablemodel.load_model("eos/share/sfm_shape_3448.bin")sample = model.get_shape_model().draw_sample([1.0, -0.5, 0.7])help(eos) # check the documentation

Seedemo.py for an example on how to run the fitting.

Experimental (not maintained currently): eos includes Matlab bindings for thefit_shape_and_pose(...) function, which means the fitting can be run from Matlab. Set-DEOS_GENERATE_MATLAB_BINDINGS=on when runningcmake to build the required mex-file and run theINSTALL target to install everything. (SetMatlab_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 theinstall/eos/matlab directory and rundemo.m to see how to run the fitting. The result is a mesh and rendering parameters (pose).

Thefit-model example and theNamespace List in doxygen are a good place to start.
