Welcome to Faceform Track Documentation

_images/TrackDocumentation.png

Faceform Track is standalone software that works together with Faceform Wrap4D . Its primary purpose is to track markers on an actor’s face and detect lip and eyelid contours using a personalized detector.

Why do we need Faceform Track?

The program dramatically simplifies and speeds up the processing of 4D sequences. The main idea of Faceform Track is to bring all the labor-intensive work into a 2D space so that you don’t have to sculpt and cleanup models in 3D. You don’t have to be an experienced 3D artist to use it. The results of marker tracking and contour detection are easy to validate and easy to correct.

Architecture and Interface

The architecture and interface of Faceform Track are presented in the form of 4 logical sections:

  1. Loading a Sequence

  2. Tracking Markers

  3. Detecting Contours

  4. Filtering Contours

Results

As a result of Faceform Track computations a user obtains:

  1. A sequence of JSON files containing tracked markers.

  2. A sequence of JSON files containing lip and eyelid contours.

Usage Example

The Faceform Track standard pipeline is described here.
