3D Human Face Modelling From Uncalibrated Images Using Spline Based Deformation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Accurate and plausible 3D face reconstruction remains a difficult problem up to this day, despite the tremendous advances in computer technology and the continuous growth of the applications utilizing 3D face models (e.g. biometrics, movies, gaming). In this paper, a two-step technique for efficient 3D face reconstruction from a set of face images acquired using an uncalibrated camera is presented. Initially, a robust structure from motion (SfM) algorithm is applied over a set of manually selected salient image features to retrieve an estimate of their 3D coordinates. These estimates are further utilized to deform a generic 3D face model, using smoothing splines, and adapt it to the characteristics of a human face.

متن کاملFoldover-free shape deformation for biomedicine
Shape deformation as a fundamental geometric operation underpins a wide range of applications, from geometric modelling, medical imaging to biomechanics. In medical imaging, for example, to quantify the difference between two corresponding images, 2D or 3D, one needs to find the deformation between both images. However, such deformations, particularly deforming complex volume datasets, are pron...
متن کاملRegularized shape deformation for image segmentation
This paper presents a new method for image segmentation by deforming the object shape in a template. The deformation process is controlled using a thin-plate spline kernel based regularization method. The proposed method is especially useful for 2D-based segmentation of 3D medical images by treating segmented slices as templates for their neighboring unsegmented slices. We have applied the prop...
