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 like
draw_sample() - Our low-resolution, shape-only 3D Morphable 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, 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
- (New): Python bindings for parts of the library, and Matlab bindings for the fitting
- (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 available here.
- Tested with the following compilers: >=gcc-4.9, >=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/includeeos/3rdparty/cereal/includeeos/3rdparty/glmeos/3rdparty/nanoflann/includeeos/3rdparty/eigen/Eigeneos/3rdparty/eigen3-nnls/src
Make sure to clone with --recursive to download the required submodules!
- Needed dependencies for the example app: CMake (>=3.1.3), 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. 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.
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 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 at http://www.cvssp.org/facemodel.
eos includes python bindings for some of its functionality (and more can be added!). An experimental package is on PyPI: Try pip install eos-py. You will still need the data files from this repository.
In case of issues, build the bindings manually: Clone the repository and set -DEOS_GENERATE_PYTHON_BINDINGS=on when running cmake (and optionally set PYTHON_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 eos
import numpy as np
model = 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
See demo.py for an example on how to run the fitting.
Experimental: eos includes Matlab bindings for the fit_shape_and_pose(...) function, which means the fitting can be run from Matlab. Set -DEOS_GENERATE_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 to see how to run the fitting. The result is a mesh and rendering parameters (pose).

The fit-model example and the Namespace List in doxygen are a good place to start.
