Java psychomorph webstart launch page

March 2013

Click to launch java psychomorph (version 6).

You should be prompted to open with javaws, click OK and again when you get the security warning (or two) as it is a self-signed jar file.

Some example images to start playing with are available here images.zip

Help pages are provided on the wiki. Details of the API (e.g. for writing plugins) are available here.

Some other (possibly) useful data is available here extra.zip. This includes some masks, symmetry file and wavelet filters.

The current version has some improved computer vision tools, including face and feature detection and groupwise alignment. For the face and feature detection you will need the face detection data (this is generated by OpenCV but has the - stripped out of comments to keep Java happy), the PSM feature detection data and/or the ORASM feature detection data. You will need to unzip the data to your hard drive to use it. The PSM and ORASM data were trained on the BioID data set with some enrichement (+ or - 10 degree rotations). The ORASM data uses all the 20 points supplied with the BioID data, the PSM uses 5 points (points 0, 1, 14, 2 and 3 from the full set).

The previous version (version 5) is still available here.
