Does 4dface fit only to landmarks or edges as well #50

Hi,

Thank you for making 4dface available. I notice that 4dface depends on eos under the hood, and eos has been modified so that it fits to both landmarks and edges, based on "Fitting a 3D Morphable Model to Edges: A Comparison Between Hard and Soft Correspondences" . So my question was, is 4dface currently fitting to both, or just landmarks (as in simple fit of eos) ?

Thank you, and apologies in advance if this isn't the right place to post this.

Hi,

This 4dface research demo fits to landmarks (inner face & dynamic contour landmarks). You can easily see just by glancing over the demo code.

I want to highlight again the note at the top of the README:

Note: This is a research demo from 2015/2016. 4dface has since been commercialised and an improved, up-to-date version is available on www.4dface.io. This repository also contains an older version of the morphable face model fitting library eos. eos is still in active development, head over to github.com/patrikhuber/eos for the latest version.

So I would strongly suggest you use the latest version of eos directly. You can still use the 4dface demo code as a skeletton, or perhaps even update the eos submodule in this repo to the latest version and it may compile and run right away, but I am currently not actively maintaining this demo anymore. Eos, on the other hand, is actively in development and maintained.
