Furthermore, geometric texture models represent a fundamental component for visualizing real-world scenarios. However, the motion of the model and the real-world object must be similar in order to portray natural activity. Again, this information can be determined by inspecting images via model-based image interpretation. This paper sketches the challenge of fitting models to images, describes the shortcomings of current approaches and proposes a technique based on machine learning techniques. We identify the objective function as a crucial component for fitting models to images. Furthermore, we state preferable properties of these functions and we propose to learn such a function from manually annotated example images. }, bib2html_pubtype = {Refereed Workshop Paper}, bib2html_rescat = {Learning Objective Functions for Face Model Fitting} }
