Abstract

Accurate and plausible 3D face reconstruction remains a difficult problem up to this day, despite the tremendous advances in computer technology and the continuous growth of the applications utilizing 3D face models (e.g. biometrics, movies, gaming). In this paper, a two-step technique for efficient 3D face reconstruction from a set of face images acquired using an uncalibrated camera is presented. Initially, a robust structure from motion (SfM) algorithm is applied over a set of manually selected salient image features to retrieve an estimate of their 3D coordinates. These estimates are further utilized to deform a generic 3D face model, using smoothing splines, and adapt it to the characteristics of a human face.
