Facial Image Processing and Face Modeling
Abstract:The main goal of this research is to generate three-dimensional facial models from facial images and to synthesize images of the models virtually viewed from different angles, which is an integral component of the ATR virtual space conferencing system project. In this technical report we propose a stereo-based approach to facial modeling, which is currently being implemented. The first part of this report presents a detailed survey of previous research efforts to develop techniques of facial images processing, facial modeling and facial animation. The second part describes the general approach and specific problems and solutions.
The originality and significance of this work lie in that the system can generate a face model without a human operator's interaction with the system.
