compute_reference_shape¶

menpofit.builder.compute_reference_shape(shapes, diagonal, verbose=False)[source]¶

Function that computes the reference shape as the mean shape of the provided shapes.

Parameters:

shapes (list of menpo.shape.PointCloud) – The set of shapes from which to build the reference shape.
diagonal (int or None) – If int, it ensures that the mean shape is scaled so that the diagonal of the bounding box containing it matches the provided value. If None, then the mean shape is not rescaled.
verbose (bool, optional) – If True, then progress information is printed.

Returns:

reference_shape (menpo.shape.PointCloud) – The reference shape.
