The Avatar: 3-D Face reconstruction from two orthogonal pictures with application to facial makeover
نویسنده
چکیده
In this report an algorithm for the fast reconstruction of a textured 3-D face model of the given individual from his two orthogonal pictures – a frontal view and a profile view is presented. Then a possible application to the facial makeover of the individual is also conceptualized. The algorithm needs minimal human intervention for construction and does not need any special setup, or the camera calibration parameters as required by the Stereo based algorithm. Initially the facial features are identified and extracted giving the coordinated of the feature points, and then a generic model is deformed using Radial Basis Functions (RBF). The reconstructed model is in the standard virtual reality model (VRML) format, such that it can be viewed online by the common web browsers with a use of a plugin.

Model Based Face Reconstruction for Animation
In this paper, we present a new semiautomatic method to reconstruct 3D facial model for animation from two orthogonal pictures taken from front and side views. The method is based on extracting the hair and face outlines and detecting interior features in the region of mouth, eyes, etc. We show how to use structured snakes for extracting the profile boundaries and facial features. Then DFFD, a ...
متن کاملIndividualized 3 D Face Model Reconstruction using Two Orthogonal Face Images
In this paper, there are two main topics to generate a 3D facial model from 2D face images. The first topic is to extract facial components such as eyebrows, eyes, nose, ear, mouth and face contour on the face images, and the second is to create 3D individualized face model using extracted facial components information at previous step. The generated final face model has an individualized shape...
متن کاملFacial Expression Synthesis Using PAD Emotional Parameters for a Chinese Expressive Avatar
Facial expression plays an important role in face to face communication in that it conveys nonverbal information and emotional intent beyond speech. In this paper, an approach for facial expression synthesis with an expressive Chinese talking avatar is proposed, where a layered parametric framework is designed to synthesize intermediate facial expressions using PAD emotional parameters [5], whi...
متن کاملExigent: An Automatic Avatar Generation System
Avatars are pervasive in video games and virtual worlds. The automatic generation of these avatar promises to reduce player effort and provide system-defined mappings between “real” (physical) player characteristics and virtual identities. We present an avatar generation system called Exigent; given a photograph of a human face, Exigent creates an avatar. Exigent leverages two recent computer v...
متن کاملUnsupervised Facial Expressions Recognition and Avatar Reconstruction
This paper presents a solution capable of recognizing the facial expressions performed by a person’s face and mapping them to a 3D face virtual model and RGB data captured from Microsoft’s Kinect solution starts by detecting the face and segmenting its regions, then, it identifies the actual expression using EigenFace metrics on the RGB images and reconstructs the face from the filtered Depth d...
