Yayın Nearest neighbor weighted average customization for modeling faces(Springer, 2013-10) Abeysundera, Hasith Pasindu; Benli, Kristin Surpuhi; Eskil, Mustafa TanerIn this paper, we present an anatomically accurate generic wireframe face model and an efficient customization method for modeling human faces. We use a single 2D image for customization of the generic model. We employ perspective projection to estimate 3D coordinates of the 2D facial landmarks in the image. The non-landmark vertices of the 3D model are shifted using the translations of k nearest landmark vertices, inversely weighted by the square of their distances. We demonstrate on Photoface and Bosphorus 3D face data sets that the proposed method achieves substantially low relative error values with modest time complexity.Yayın Factored particle filtering with dependent and constrained partition dynamics for tracking deformable objects(Springer, 2014-10) Eskil, Mustafa TanerIn particle filtering, dimensionality of the state space can be reduced by tracking control (or feature) points as independent objects, which are traditionally named as partitions. Two critical decisions have to be made in implementation of reduced state-space dimensionality. First is how to construct a dynamic (transition) model for partitions that are inherently dependent. Second critical decision is how to filter partition states such that a viable and likely object state is achieved. In this study, we present a correlation-based transition model and a proposal function that incorporate partition dependency in particle filtering in a computationally tractable manner. We test our algorithm on challenging examples of occlusion, clutter and drastic changes in relative speeds of partitions. Our successful results with as low as 10 particles per partition indicate that the proposed algorithm is both robust and efficient.Yayın The routine design-modular distributed modeling platform for distributed routine design and simulation-based testing of distributed assemblies(Cambridge University Press, 2008-12-12) Eskil, Mustafa Taner; Sticklen, Jon; Radcliffe, ClarkIn this paper we describe a conceptual framework and implementation of a tool that supports task-directed, distributed routine design (RD) augmented with simulation-based design testing. In our research, we leverage the modular distributed modeling (MDM) methodology to simulate the interaction of design components in an assembly. The major improvement we have made in the RD methodology is to extend it with the capabilities of incorporating remotely represented off-the-shelf components in design and simulation-based testing of a distributed assembly. The deliverable of our research is the RD-MDM platform, which is capable of automatically selecting intellectually protected off the shelf design components over the Internet, integrating these components in an assembly, running simulations for design testing, and publishing the approved design without disclosing the proprietary information.Yayın An observation based muscle model for simulation of facial expressions(Elsevier Science BV, 2018-05) Erkoç, Tuğba; Ağdoğan, Didem; Eskil, Mustafa TanerThis study presents a novel facial muscle model for coding of facial expressions. We derive this model from unintrusive observation of human subjects in the progress of the surprise expression. We use a generic and single-layered face model which embeds major muscles of the human face. This model is customized onto the human subject's face on the first frame of the video. The last frame of the video is used to project a set of manually marked feature points to estimate the 3 dimensional displacements of vertices due to facial expression. Vertex displacements are used in a mass spring model to estimate the external forces, i.e. the muscle forces on the skin. We observed that the distribution of muscle forces resemble sigmoid or hyperbolic tangent functions. We chose hyperbolic tangent function as our base model and parameterized it using least squares. We compared the proposed muscle model with frequently used models in the literature.
