Download Stasm

If you just want to try out Stasm on a Windows system, there are two easy options. (These are self installing programs. They can be easily uninstalled by running the included uninstaller, or from "Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs", leaving no trace on your system):

Wasm utility with file interface (shown on the right)
Casm utility with webcam interface

You might also like to try WinThatch. This utility "thatcherizes" the face in the webcam. (See the Wikipedia article for details. This software was used by the BBC in Bang Goes The Theory.)

The algorithms used by Stasm are described in my master's thesis "Locating Facial Features with Active Shape Models" (about 2.5 MBytes) and in this ECCV 2008 paper "Locating Facial Features With An Extended Active Shape Model" which summarizes the master's thesis.

If you want to build Stasm or create your own models, download the source code (about 18 MBytes). This can be compiled with any of

Visual C++ 6.0
Visual C++ 9.0 (2008) (free Express edition suffices)
Visual C++ 10.0 (2010) (free Express edition suffices)
gcc under mingw
gcc under Linux (tested on Ubuntu)

The download includes data giving the positions of manual landmarks but does not include the face images --- see the database links below to get those.

Image databases

The training and testing image databases used by Stasm are as follows. The latter four are links to third party sites.

MUCT (images and landmarks can be downloaded)
AR (manual landmarks)
BioID (manual landmarks)
XM2VTS (manual landmarks)
PUT

The manual landmarking data for these datasets is also included in the Stasm source code.
