AbstractThere is a steadily growing range of applications that can benefit from facial reconstruction techniques, leading to an increasing demand for reconstruction of high-quality 3D face models. While it is an important expressive part of the human face, the nose has received less attention than other expressive regions in the face reconstruction literature. When applying existing reconstruction methods to facial images, the reconstructed nose models are often inconsistent with the desired shape and expression. In this paper, we propose a coarse-to-fine 3D nose reconstruction and correction pipeline to build a nose model from a single image, where 3D and 2D nose curve correspondences are adaptively updated and refined. We first correct the reconstruction result coarsely using constraints of 3D-2D sparse landmark correspondences, and then heuristically update a dense 3D-2D curve correspondence based on the coarsely corrected result. A final refinement step is performed to correct the shape based on the updated 3D-2D dense curve constraints. Experimental results show the advantages of our method for 3D nose reconstruction over existing methods.

Aiming at the face photos of film and television animation, this paper proposes a new fast three-dimensional (3D) face modelling algorithm. First of all, based on the LBF algorithm, this paper proposes a multifeature selection idea to automatically detect multiple features of the face. Secondly, in order to solve the shortcomings of slow training speed while achieving large pose face alignment, the regression-based CNN is selected as the algorithm to achieve fast convergence. Then, due to the influence of various factors, the extracted feature points are not completely correct, and Gabor features are used to screen the matching of feature points. Finally, by analysing the principle of 3DMM 3D face reconstruction, a single-view 3D face reconstruction method based on CNN is proposed. The experimental results show that the algorithm in this paper has good reconstruction performance and real-time performance and can realize the rapid modelling of human face.

In this paper, we propose a novel approach for 3D face reconstruction from multi-facial images. Given original pose-variant images, coarse 3D face templates are initialized to reconstruct a refined 3D face mesh in an iteration manner. Then, we warp original facial images to the 2D meshes projected from 3D using Sparse Mesh Affine Warp (SMAW). Finally, we weight the face patches in each view respectively and map the patch with higher weight to a canonical UV space. For facial images with arbitrary pose, their invisible regions are filled with the corresponding UV patches. Poisson editing is applied to blend different patches seamlessly. We evaluate the proposed method on LFW dataset in terms of texture refinement and face recognition. The results demonstrate competitive performance compared to state-of-the-art methods.

AbstractIt has long been speculated that there exist cues on human face that allow observersto make reliable judgments of others’personality traits. However, direct evidences ofassociation between facial shapes and personality are missing. This study assessed thepersonality attributes for 834 Han Chinese volunteers (405 males and 429 females) utilizing the five-factor personality model (the ‘Big Five’ model), and collected their neutral 3D facial images. Dense anatomical correspondence was established across the 3D facial images to allow high-dimensional quantitative analyses on the face phenotypes. Two different approaches, Composite Partial Least Square Component(CPLSC) and principle component analysis (PCA) were used to test the associations between the self-testedpersonality scores and the dense 3D face image data. Among the fivepersonality factors, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness in male, and Extraversion in female were significantly associated to specific facial patterns. The personality-related facial patterns were extracted and their effects were extrapolated on simulated 3Dfacial models.

Virtual illustration of a human face is essential to enhance the mutual interaction in a cyber community. In this paper we propose a solution to solve two bottlenecks in facial analysis and synthesis for an interactive system of human face cloning for non-expert users of computer games. Tactical maneuvers of the gamer make single camera acquisition system unsuitable to analyze and track the face due to its large lateral movements. For an improved facial analysis system, we propose to acquire the facial images from multiple cameras and analyze them by multiobjective 2.5D Active Appearance Model (MOAAM). Facial morphological dissimilarities between a human face and an avatar make the facial synthesis quite complex. To successfully clone or retarget the gamer facial expressions and gestures on to an avatar, we introduce a simple mathematical link between their appearances. Results obtained validate the efficiency, accuracy and robustness achieved.

The human face is a popular motif in art and depictions of faces can be found throughout history in nearly every culture. Artists have mastered the depiction of faces after employing careful experimentation using the relatively limited means of paints and oils. Many of the results of these experimentations are now available to the scientific domain due to the digitization of large art collections. In this paper we study the depiction of the face throughout history. We used an automated facial detection network to detect a set of 11,659 faces in 15,534 predominately western artworks, from 6 international, digitized art galleries. We analyzed the pose and color of these faces and related those to changes over time and gender differences. We find a number of previously known conventions, such as the convention of depicting the left cheek for females and vice versa for males, as well as unknown conventions, such as the convention of females to be depicted looking slightly down. Our set of faces will be released to the scientific community for further study.

Face recognition is a challenging task for the researches. It is very useful for personal verification and recognition and also it is very difficult to implement due to all different situation that a human face can be found. This system makes use of the face recognition approach for the computerized attendance marking of students or employees in the room environment without lectures intervention or the employee. This system is very efficient and requires very less maintenance compared to the traditional methods. Among existing methods PCA is the most efficient technique. In this project Holistic based approach is adapted. The system is implemented using MATLAB and provides high accuracy.

The face is the feature which distinguishes a person. Facial appearance is vital for human recognition. It has certain features like forehead, skin, eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, mouth, lip, teeth etc which helps us, humans, to recognize a particular face from millions of faces even after a large span of time and despite large changes in their appearance due to ageing, expression, viewing conditions and distractions such as disfigurement of face, scars, beard or hair style. A face is not merely a set of facial features but is rather but is rather something meaningful in its form.In this paper, depending on the various facial features, a system is designed to recognize them. To reveal the outline of the face, eyes, ears, nose, teeth etc different edge detection techniques have been used. These features are extracted in the term of distance between important feature points. The feature set obtained is then normalized and are feed to artificial neural networks so as to train them for reorganization of facial images.
