ASM

Finally working on a new system that will draw influenced by knowledge and experience. For the first experiments, the system will use Active Shape Model, based on T. Cootes work[1]. As a base I am using the Stasm library [2].  For my purpose I need to train specific dedicated models based on the way I draw faces.

First stage. I wrote a little utility to annotate images, using python and opencv.
