3D Morphable Model Parameter Estimation

چکیده
Estimating the structure of the human face is a long studied and difficult task. In this paper we present a new method for estimating facial structure from only a minimal number of salient feature points across a video sequence. The presented method uses both an Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) and a Kalman Filter (KF) to regress 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) shape parameters and solve 3D pose using a simplified camera model. A linear method for initializing the recursive pose filter is provided. The convergence properties of the method are then evaluated using synthetic data. Finally, using the same synthetic data the method is demonstrated for both single image shape recovery and shape recovery across a sequence.

Using the EKF for 3D Morphable Model Parameter Estimation
Estimating the structure of the human face is a long studied and difficult task. In this paper we present a new method for estimating facial structure from only a minimal number of salient feature points. The presented method uses the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF) to regress 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) shape parameters and solve rigid body motion using a simplified camera model. A linear method fo...
متن کاملA Multiresolution 3D Morphable Face Model and Fitting Framework
3D Morphable Face Models are a powerful tool in computer vision. They consist of a PCA model of face shape and colour information and allow to reconstruct a 3D face from a single 2D image. 3D Morphable Face Models are used for 3D head pose estimation, face analysis, face recognition, and, more recently, facial landmark detection and tracking. However, they are not as widely used as 2D methods t...
متن کامل3D morphable models : data pre-processing, statistical analysis and fitting
This thesis presents research aimed at using a 3D linear statistical model (known as a 3D morphable model) of an object class (which could be faces, bodies, cars, etc) for robust shape recovery. Our aim is to use this recovered information for the purposes of potentially useful applications like recognition and synthesis. With a 3D morphable model as its central theme, this thesis includes: a f...
متن کاملA 3D Morphable Eye Region Model for Gaze Estimation
Morphable face models are a powerful tool in computer vision and graphics, but have previously failed to model the eye accurately due to complexities in its material and motion. We present a new multi-part model of the eye that includes a morphable model of the facial eye region, as well as an anatomy-based eyeball model. It is the first morphable model that accurately captures eye region shape...
متن کاملOcclusion-aware 3D Morphable Face Models
We propose a probabilistic occlusion-aware 3D Morphable Face Model adaptation framework for face image analysis based on the Analysis-by-Synthesis setup. In natural images, parts of the face are often occluded by a variety of objects. Such occlusions are a challenge for face model adaptation. We propose to segment the image into face and non-face regions and model them separately. The segmentat...
