The problem of average image creation using reference landmarks is studied. The aim of the research work is to develop average image creation methods based on averaging transformed group of images using different number of reference landmarks. Averaging methods based on two, three and arbitrary number of reference landmarks using carcass are reviewed. The results of the application of methods on the selection of images of human faces confirm the possibility of creating specialized software for the creation of generalized images.
Key words: average portrait, mean image, image transformation, triangulation, reference landmarks, Galton, Perrett, face.
