Silhouette-Based 3D Face Shape Recovery

چکیده
The creation of realistic 3D face models is still a fundamental problem in computer graphics. In this paper we present a novel method to obtain the 3D shape of an arbitrary human face using a sequence of silhouette images as input. Our face model is a linear combination of eigenheads, which are obtained by a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of laser-scanned 3D human faces. The coefficients of this linear decomposition are used as our model parameters. We introduce a near-automatic method for reconstructing a 3D face model whose silhouette images match closest to the set of input silhouettes.

3d Passive Shape Recovery from Texture and Silhouette Information
Recent efforts attempt to combine together informations of different passive methods. Critical issues in this research are the choice of data and how to combine such data in order to increase the overall information. The combination of stereo matching and silhouette information has recently received considerable attention both for obtaining high quality 3D models and for modelling 3D dynamic sc...
متن کاملModel-Based 3D Face Capture with Shape-from-Silhouettes
We present a method for 3D face acquisition using a set or sequence of 2D binary silhouettes. Since silhouette images depend only on the shape and pose of an object, they are immune to lighting and/or texture variations (unlike feature or texturebased shape-from-correspondence). Our prior 3D face model is a linear combination of ”eigenheads” obtained by applying PCA to a training set of laser-s...
متن کاملError Analysis for Silhouette–Based 3D Shape Estimation from Multiple Views
This paper presents an error analysis for 3D shape estimation techniques using silhouettes from multiple views (”shape–from–silhouette”). The results of this analysis are useful for the integration of other shape reconstruction techniques into the shape– from–silhouette approach and the appropriate choice of its parameters. The analysis allows an assessment of the local 3D shape error and takes...
متن کامل3D Face Reconstruction with Silhouette Constraints
In this paper we introduce silhouette constraints to improve the quality of unconstrained 3D face reconstruction. Previously, state of the art unconstrained 3D face reconstruction techniques relied solely on photometric consistency and matching sparse facial landmarks. We show that constraining the silhouettes of the 3D reconstruction to match silhouettes in the input images can further improve...
متن کاملShape from Silhouette Consensus
Many applications in computer vision require the 3D reconstruction of a shape from its different views. When the available information in the images is just a binary mask segmenting the object, the problem is called shape from silhouette (SfS). As first proposed by Baumgart [1], the shape is usually computed as the maximum volume consistent with the given set of silhouettes. This is called visu...
