I was googling the last few days about active appearance model (AAM). I found a shape model and texture model and now I'm trying to do some research about active shape model (ASM) and I'm getting confused.
Are the active shape model (ASM) and the shape model in AAM the same?
AAM involves (among other things) both a shape model and a texture model. The shape model is usually obtained by what is referred to as an active shape model (ASM). So the answer is yes, the shape model in AAM is the active shape model ASM.
