Automated Registration of 3D Faces using Dense Surface Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
Dense surface models can be used to register unseen surfaces, using an algorithm which is a hybrid of iterative closest-point (ICP) and active shape model (ASM) fitting. In this paper we give details of this procedure and show how it can be improved by sequentially extending the transform group over which it operates. We also evaluate it for robustness to the position of the target and to shape variation across a set of unseen examples. The fit was successful on all 21 examples in our test set, with an average RMS error of 3.0mm. An initial comparison of 3 people landmarking the same scans suggests that this is within the normal landmark reproducibility range for 3D face scans.

3D shape-based face representation and feature extraction for face recognition
In this paper, we review and compare 3D face registration and recognition algorithms, which are based solely on 3D shape information and analyze methods based on the fusion of shape features. We have analyzed two different registration algorithms, which produce a dense correspondence between faces. The first algorithm non-linearly warps faces to obtain registration, while the second algorithm a...
متن کاملAutomated 3d Modeling of Urban Environments
The photorealistic modeling of large-scale scenes, such as urban structures, requires a fusion of range sensing technology and traditional digital photography. This paper summarizes the contributions of our group in that area. We present a system that integrates automated 3D-to-3D and 2D-to-3D registration techniques, with multiview geometry for the photorealistic modeling of urban scenes. The ...
متن کاملDense Surface Point Distribution Models of the Human Face
In this paper1 we show how a dense surface model of the human face can be built from a population of examples. A technique that combines active shape models (ASMs) with iterative closest point (ICP) can be used to fit the model to new faces. The model is built by aligning the surfaces using a sparse set of hand-placed landmarks, then using thinplate spline warping to make a dense correspondence...
متن کاملAlternative face models for 3D face registration
3D has become an important modality for face biometrics. The accuracy of a 3D face recognition system depends on a correct registration that aligns the facial surfaces and makes a comparison possible. The best results obtained so far use a one-to-all registration approach, which means each new facial surface is registered to all faces in the gallery, at a great computational cost. We explore th...
متن کاملAutomated Construction of 3d Statistical Shape Models
Automated segmentation of medical images is a difficult task because of the complexity of anatomic structures, inter-patient variability, and imperfect image acquisition. Prior knowledge, in the form of pointbased statistical shape models (point distribution models) of a structure of interest can greatly assist segmentation to robustly find the structure in a patient’s image. Point distribution...
