We present an approach to simultaneously solve the two problems of face alignment and 3D face reconstruction from an input 2D face image of arbitrary poses and expressions. The proposed method iteratively and alternately applies two sets of cascaded regressors, one for updating 2D landmarks and the other for updating reconstructed poseexpression-normalized (PEN) 3D face shape. The 3D face shape...

Face is having unique identity amongst all other biometric traits. Face recognition is performed using 2D and 3D facial data. 3D face recognition has many advantages over 2D Face recognition. This paper represents the 3D Face recognition challenges while processing the data captured using 3D face scanners. The performance of state-of-art, Face recognition system is affected due to pose, illumin...

In this paper we apply template protection to an authentication system based on 3D face data in order to protect the privacy of its users. We use the template protection system based on the helper data system (HDS). The experimental results performed on the FRGC v2.0 database demonstrate that the performance of the protected system is of the same order as the performance of the unprotected syst...

Face alignment and 3D face reconstruction are traditionally accomplished as separated tasks. By exploring the strong correlation between 2D landmarks and 3D shapes, in contrast, we propose a joint face alignment and 3D face reconstruction method to simultaneously solve these two problems for 2D face images of arbitrary poses and expressions. This method, based on a summation model of 3D face sh...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to present the development of a new technique to obtain 3D models using photogrammetry by a mobile device and free software, as a method for making digital facial impressions of patients with maxillofacial defects for the final purpose of 3D printing of facial prostheses. METHODS With the use of a mobile device, free software and a photo capture protocol, 2D c...

This chapter proposes a representation of rigid three-dimensional (3D) objects in terms of local affine-invariant descriptors of their images and the spatial relationships between the corresponding surface patches. Geometric constraints associated with different views of the same patches under affine projection are combined with a normalized representation of their appearance to guide the match...

backgrounds: evidence is accumulating to support disruption of tissue architecture as a powerful event in tumor formation. for the past four decades, intensive cancer research with the premise of “cancer as a cell based-disease” focused on finding oncogenes or tumor suppressor genes. however, the role of the tissue architecture was neglected. three dimensional (3d) cell cultures which can recap...

This paper presents a method for creating photorealistic textured 3D face models of specific people for dynamic facial expression animation. The modeling approach reconstructs an accurate geometrical face model based on the individual face measurements containing both shape and texture information that is acquired from a laser range scanner. By using a semi -automatic registration and merging t...
