A simple tool to use Basel Face Model (BFM) in C++.

• Basel Face Model (version>=2017, because we need expression information);
• Eigen3
• HDF5 (version=1.12);
• Dlib (version=19.21);
• OpenCV with opencv_contrib (version<=3.4.10, because OpenCV4 remove some basic data structure like CvMat)

Note: You could use your own dataset whose format is similar with Basel Face Model, and you should change corresponding parameters.

See example/ex_gen_faces.cpp. You need know information about your dataset as follows:

/path/to/basel_face_model.h5
n_vertice n_face n_id_pc n_expr_pc
fx fy cx cy
/h5_path/to/shape_mu /h5_path/to/shape_ev /h5_path/to/shape_pc
/h5_path/to/tex_mu /h5_path/to/tex_ev /h5_path/to/tex_pc
/h5_path/to/expr_mu /h5_path/to/expr_ev /h5_path/to/expr_pc
/h5_path/to_triangle_lists
n_landmark /path/to/landmark.anl

If landmark is not needed, use 0 to replace n_landmark /path/to/landmark.anl .

If needed, landmark.anl format is as follow:

landmark_idx[0] 
landmark_idx[1]
...
landmark_idx[n_landmark-1]
