PCA-based Reconstruction of 3D Face shapes using Tikhonov Regularization

چکیده
Reconstructing a 3D face shape from a limited number of 2D facial feature points is considered as an ill-posed problem which can be solved using regularization. Tikhonov regularization is a popular method that incorporates prior information towards providing the existence of closed-form solutions which we obtain as a result of applying PCA, in order to solve the ill-posed problem. The common factors that generally affect Tikhonov regularization are the regularization matrix, the number of feature points, regularization parameters and noise. In this study we report our findings on how various factors influence the reconstruction accuracy based on a case study performed on the USF Human ID 3D database. Further, a statistical comparison between two Tikhonov regularization matrices viz., the identity matrix and the diagonal matrix comprising of the eigenvalues (eigenvalue matrix), has been performed. We found that, the reconstruction error can be reduced significantly by using the later one. Finally our study aids to determine the most feasible interval in conjunction with optimal regularization parameters which would lead towards achieving accurate and plausible solutions.

Reconstruction of 3d Faces by Shape Estimation and Texture Interpolation
This paper aims to address the ill-posed problem of reconstructing 3D faces from single 2D face images. An extended Tikhonov regularization method is connected with the standard 3D morphable model in order to reconstruct the 3D face shapes from a small set of 2D facial points. Further, by interpolating the input 2D texture with the model texture and warping the interpolated texture to the recon...
متن کاملBoundary temperature reconstruction in an inverse heat conduction problem using boundary integral equation method
In this paper, we consider an inverse boundary value problem for two-dimensional heat equation in an annular domain. This problem consists of determining the temperature on the interior boundary curve from the Cauchy data (boundary temperature and heat flux) on the exterior boundary curve. To this end, the boundary integral equation method is used. Since the resulting system of linea...
متن کاملJoint Reconstruction of Image and Motion in MRI: Implicit Regularization Using an Adaptive 3D Mesh
Magnetic resonance images are affected by motion artefacts due to breathing and cardiac beating that occur during the acquisition. Methods for joint reconstruction of image and motion have been proposed recently. Such optimization problems are ill-conditioned, therefore regularization methods are required such as motion smoothness constraints using the Tikhonov method. However with Tikhonov met...
متن کاملReconstructing 3D Face Shapes from Single 2D Images Using an Adaptive Deformation Model
The Representational Power (RP) of an example-based model is its capability to depict a new 3D face for a given 2D face image. In this contribution, a novel approach is proposed to increase the RP of the 3D reconstruction PCA-based model by deforming a set of examples in the training dataset. By adding these deformed samples together with the original training samples we gain more RP. A 3D PCA-...
متن کاملImage reconstruction for diffuse optical tomography using sparsity regularization and expectation-maximization algorithm.
We present an image reconstruction method for diffuse optical tomography (DOT) by using the sparsity regularization and expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. Typical image reconstruction approaches in DOT employ Tikhonov-type regularization, which imposes restrictions on the L(2) norm of the optical properties (absorption/scattering coefficients). It tends to cause a blurring effect in the r...
