چکیده

This paper describes a method to extract facial features from front and side views for 3D facial model creation by modifying a 3D generic head model. Front and side views of a person's face are taken simultaneously by two cameras under the same geometric condition. The side view (profile) is first analyzed using a DP template matching to extract vertical locations of nose and mouth. Then, by using the vertical location data, the existing areas of the eyes, nose and mouth are estimated on front and side view images, and such facial features are extracted as strong edges in those areas. The extracted facial features, including the outline of the hair and face, are used to create a 3D facial model for the person by modifying a generic head model.

Hybridization of Facial Features and Use of Multi Modal Information for 3D Face Recognition

Despite of achieving good performance in controlled environment, the conventional 3D face recognition systems still encounter problems in handling the large variations in lighting conditions, facial expression and head pose The humans use the hybrid approach to recognize faces and therefore in this proposed method the human face recognition ability is incorporated by combining global and local ...

Using Facial Feature Extraction to Enhance the Creation of 3d Human Models

The creation of personalised 3D characters has evolved to provide a high degree of realism in both appearance and animation. Further to the creation of generic characters the capabilities exist to create a personalised character from images of an individual. This provides the possibility of immersing an individual into a virtual world. Feature detection, particularly on the face, can be used to...

Sequential Clustering based Facial Feature Extraction Method for Automatic Creation of Facial Models from Orthogonal Views

Multiview 3D face modeling has attracted increasing attention recently and has become one of the potential avenues in future video systems. We aim to make more reliable and robust automatic feature extraction and natural 3D feature construction from 2D features detected on a pair of frontal and profile view face images. We propose several heuristic algorithms to minimize possible errors introdu...

Fast head modeling for animation

This paper describes an efficient method to make individual faces for animation from several possible inputs. We present a method to reconstruct 3D facial model for animation from two orthogonal pictures taken from front and side views or from range data obtained from any available resources. It is based on extracting features on a face in a semiautomatic way and modifying a generic model with ...

3D Face Modeling Using the Multi-Deformable Method

In this paper, we focus on the problem of the accuracy performance of 3D face modeling techniques using corresponding features in multiple views, which is quite sensitive to feature extraction errors. To solve the problem, we adopt a statistical model-based 3D face modeling approach in a mirror system consisting of two mirrors and a camera. The overall procedure of our 3D facial modeling method...
