The Active Appearance Models have been introduced by 
T.F. Cootes, G.J. Edwards, C.J. Taylor in 1998 see:

T.F.Cootes, G.J. Edwards and C.J.Taylor. 
"Active Appearance Models", in Proc. European Conference on 
Computer Vision 1998 (H.Burkhardt & B. Neumann Ed.s). Vol. 2, 
pp. 484-498, Springer, 1998. [ http://www.isbe.man.ac.uk/~bim/ ]



This software is based on the AAM-API [ http://www.imm.dtu.dk/~aam/ ] 
and contain code fragments from:

- The Microsoft(tm) Vision Software Developers Kit, VisSDK
- The DTU Image Viewer and Analyzer, DIVA - IMM, DTU


A subset of the IMM face database built by Michael Moesby Nordstrøm, 
Mads Larsen and Janusz Sierakowski was used for building the AAM used 
in the AAMExplorer.
