Key Concepts

Point Distribution Model (PDM)

A Point Distribution Model is a statistical model that represents the shape of an object using key landmark points. It captures only the variation in shape — that is, how the positions of these landmarks change — across different instances of the object. This model is useful in representing and analyzing shapes without considering any appearance details such as texture or color.

Active Appearance Model (AAM)

An Active Appearance Model extends the concept of a shape-only model by incorporating both shape and appearance (texture or intensity) information. In AAM, the variation in both the spatial configuration of landmarks and the pixel-wise appearance around those landmarks is modeled jointly, allowing for a more comprehensive representation of the object, which can be particularly beneficial for tasks like image analysis and computer vision where appearance contributes significantly to the model's performance.
