1. Result Objects

The fitting methods of the Fitters presented in the previous section return a result object. menpofit has three basic fitting result objects:

  • Result: Basic fitting result object that holds the final shape, and optionally, the initial shape, ground truth shape and the image.
  • MultiScaleNonParametricIterativeResult: The result of a multi-scale iterative fitting procedure. Apart from the final shape, it also stores the shapes acquired at each fitting iteration.
  • MultiScaleParametricIterativeResult: The same as MultiScaleNonParametricIterativeResult with the difference that the optimization was performed over the parameters of a statistical parametric shape model. Thus, apart from the actual shapes, it also stores the shape parameters acquired per iteration. Note that in this case, the initial shape that was provided by the user gets reconstructed using the shape model, i.e. it first gets projected in order to get the initial estimation of the shape parameters, and then gets reconstructed with those. The resulting shape is then used as initialization for the iterative fitting process.

2. Attributes

The above result objects can provide some very useful information regarding the fitting procedure. For example, the various shapes can be retrieved as:

result.final_shape
The final shape of the fitting procedure.

result.initial_shape
The initial shape of the fitting procedure that was provided by the user.

result.reconstructed_initial_shape
The reconstruction of the initial shape that was used to initialise the fitting procedure. It only applies for MultiScaleParametricIterativeResult.

result.image
The image on which the fitting procedure was applied.

result.gt_shape
The ground truth shape associated to the image.

result.shapes
The list of shapes acquired at each fitting iteration. It only applies on MultiScaleNonParametricIterativeResult and MultiScaleParametricIterativeResult.

result.costs()
The cost values per iteration, if they were computed during fitting.

Also, a result can compute some error metrics, in case the gt_shape of the image exists:

result.final_error()
The final fitting error.

result.initial_error()
The initial fitting error.

result.errors()
The list of errors acquired at each fitting iteration. It only applies on MultiScaleNonParametricIterativeResult and MultiScaleParametricIterativeResult.
