Human face detection plays an important role in application such as video surveillance, human computer interface, face recognition and face image database management. Automatic detection of facial features of image is an important stage of various image interpretation works, such as facial expression recognition, face recognition, facial features tracking and 3D face modeling etc. Detection of ...

This paper proposes a practical, topologically robust and ranging error resistive shape modeling procedure that approximates a real 3D object with the matrix-formatted organized meshing for the 3D shape processing. A geometric model with desired meshing, not limited to triangular one, but also quadrilateral, hexagonal or n-gonal mesh, is directly reconstructed based on a solid modeling approach...

3D face reconstruction from Internet photos has recently produced exciting results. A person’s face, e.g., Tom Hanks, can be modeled and animated in 3D from a completely uncalibrated photo collection. Most methods, however, focus solely on face area and mask out the rest of the head. This paper proposes that head modeling from the Internet is a problem we can solve. We target reconstruction of ...

This paper examines procedural modeling as a tool for 3D modeling creation. Procedural modeling historically has been used for 3D visualization of natural features, but with the release of the software CityEngine in 2008, the technology can easily be adopted also in problem domains dealing with urban environments. Then, we will examine and compare two types of modeling, traditional and proc...

This paper presents a method for 3D face modeling from a set of 2D images. This method is based on deformation of a pre-defined generic polygonal face mesh to the specific face of the person, presented on several images taken from different views. This deformation is based upon matching points and silhouette curves. To provide high accuracy we have chosen an interactive way of getting informati...

reliable characterization of subsurface soil in urban areas is a major concern in geotechnical and geological engineering projects. in this regard, this research deals with development of a 3d geological engineering model on mashhad city soil using sequential gaussian simulation (sgs) approach. the intense variability of soil in the study area has sometimes caused serious problems in civil engi...

We describe a face modeling system which estimates complete facial structure and texture from a real-time video stream. The system begins with a face tracking algorithm which detects and stabilizes live facial images into a canonical 3D pose. The resulting canonical texture is then processed by a statistical model to lter imperfections and estimate unknown components such as missing pixels and ...

Research on 3D face recognition [1,9] has been intensified recently due to the significant advances of the 3D imaging technology. Most of the research focuses on the investigation of 3D range data obtained by a 3D scanner. Although 3D capture systems provide highly accurate 3D face information, it is not trivial to process the large amount of facial surface data. For example, it is hard to keep...

Face orientation can be used to derive vigilance cues about the vehicle driver. In this paper, a face pose estimation model based on visual features is presented. The face orientation is estimated through SVM with features detection such as eyes, mouth, facial outlines and so on. Innovative point of this research is the utilization of the features triangle, which composed with eyes and mouth lo...
