Human Face Analysis Based on Distributed 2d Appearance Models.
Y. Sumi, Yuichi Ohta · 1992
We propose a new framework, called DtTOPS (Distributed Concurrent TOpdown Processing Scheme), for a computer vision system which is suitable in a parallel processing environment. A set of mu1 tiple top-down analyses are performed concurrently and distributively. Each of the analyses is based on a different 2D model camspanding to a different appearance of a 3D object. Using the framework it is possible to make a Rexible and robust analysis machmism without complex control strucrurts. A human face analysis systcm has been developed in the framework.
