Evaluation of 3D face analysis and synthesis techniques

Abstract

The reconstruction of 3D face models is mostly achieved by using 2D images. In this paper, we compare the strengths and weaknesses of different image processing techniques for 3D face generation. It is anticipated that the optimal solution will he applied in the future for 3D face analysis and synthesis. This paper presents binocular stereo using stereo correspondence algorithm or manual triangulation, orthogonal views, and photometric stereo as approaches to 3D face modelling.
