One of the challenging problems in geometric modeling and computer graphics is the construction of realistic human facial geometry. Such geometry are essential for a wide range of applications, such as 3D face recognition, virtual reality applications, facial expression simulation and computer based plastic surgery application. This paper addresses a method for the construction of 3D geometry o...

We present a general statistical framework for modeling and processing head pose information in 2D grayscale images: analyzing, synthesizing, and identifying facial images with arbitrary 3D head poses. As a basic component, LPCMAP model offers a compact view-based datadriven model with bidirectional mappings between face views and 3D head angles. We call a mapping from face to pose analysis map...

Stereo and 3D reconstruction are used by many applications such as object modeling, facial expression studies and human motion analysis. But synchronizing multiple high frame rate cameras require special hardware or sophisticated software solutions. In this paper, we propose a single camera stereo system by using a setup made of prism and mirrors. Our setup is cost effective, portable and can b...

3D face reconstruction is a very challenging problem in computer vision, and is used as a prerequisite for many important vision tasks, e.g., face recognition and face frontalization. The importance of 3D face reconstruction is that we can estimate illumination and pose information by using the 3D shape of the face. Since the human face is a non-rigid 3D object, estimating the 2D shape of the f...

3D facial synthesis has been an intensive research topic in both image processing and computer graphics. So far common facial synthesizing methods were either statistic model based or laser range scanner (LRS) based. However, these methods could only provide approximate models. In this paper, we present a Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) based 3D facial synthesizing approach, which can build accu...

THE 2009 Design, Automation, and Test in Europe (DATE) conference, which took place in April in Nice, France, hosted a new workshop on 3D integration. The topic was vertical stacking of multiple silicon dies, interconnected by through-silicon vias, which is a promising technology. TSVs offer higher transistor density, faster interconnects, heterogeneous technology integration, and potentially l...

The research on machine vision focuses on problems in texture analysis, color and face image analysis, document image analysis, tracking and motion estimation, 3D modeling and camera calibration, and visualization-based user interfacing. The research on intelligent systems concentrates on context-aware mobile systems, intelligent service robots, neural network methodology for signal analysis, a...

Computer vision solutions such as face detection and recognition, facial reenactment, facial expression analysis and gender detection have seen fruitful applications in various domains such as security, surveillance, social media and animation. Many of the above solutions have common pre-processing steps such as fiducial detection, appearance modeling, face structural modelings etc. These steps...

This paper presents a new method for face modeling and face recognition from a pair of calibrated stereo cameras. In a first step, the algorithm builds a stereo reconstruction of the face by adjusting the global transformation parameters and the shape parameters of a 3D morphable face model. The adjustment of the parameters is such that stereo correspondence between both images is established, ...
