Tutorials on the Shape modelling toolbox
The models shown in these tutorials illustrate features of the AAMToolbox software. They are not designed to understand the shape and appearance modelling which is better done from the published literature for example.
Viewing these pages. Some versions of Firefox and Explorer do not create satisfactory prints even though you can view the pages with no problems. Chrome does appear to produce good printouts.
Three ways to use AAMToolbox
1) Analysing shapes. i.e. the arrangement of points around a shape
2) Comparing shapes from samples of different groups for example, comparing faces from different cartoon characters
3) Analysing shape and appearance. In addition to the points around a shape, analyse the appearance (grey scale or colour) within the shape.
4) Analysing 3D shapes
