Projects
- From 2021 - 2023
Bridging the Gap: Mimics and Muscles
The project aims to develop a novel approach to bridge the gap between the visual appearance of a human face and the underlying facial muscle structure and activity.
- Facial volume estimation
- Restauration of obstructed facial features via Minimal Change CycleGANs
- From 2021 - present
JeFaPaTo
JeFaPaTo (Jena Facial Palsy Tool Box) is a software tool for the automatic analysis of facial palsy concerning the eyelid closure. It provides medical experts an easy-to-use tool for the analysis of facial palsy by utilizing state-of-the-art computer vision and machine learning techniques.
- Eyelid closure analysis
- Nature Scientific Reports publication
