Since 3D face can be rotated freely in 3D space and illumination effects can be modeled properly, 3D face modeling Is more precise and realistic in face pose, illumination, and expression than 2D face modeling. Thus, 3D modeling is necessitated much in face recognition, game, avatar, and etc. In this paper, we propose a 3D face modeling method based on 3D morphable shape modeling. The proposed 3D modeling method first constructs a 3D morphable shape model out of 3D face scan data obtained using a 3D scanner Next, the proposed method extracts and matches feature points of the face from 2D image sequence containing a face to be modeled, and then estimates 3D vertex coordinates of the feature points using a factorization based SfM technique. Then, the proposed method obtains a 3D shape model of the face to be modeled by fitting the 3D vertices to the constructed 3D morphable shape model. Also, the proposed method makes a cylindrical texture map using 2D face image sequence. Finally, the proposed method builds a 3D face model by rendering the 3D face shape model with the cylindrical texture map. Through building processes of 3D face model by the proposed method, it is shown that the proposed method is relatively easy, fast and precise than the previous 3D face model methods.

Recently the 3D modeling techniques were developed rapidly due to rapid development of computer vision, computer graphics with the excellent performance of hardware. With the advent of a variety of 3D contents, 3D modeling technology becomes more in demand and it's quality is increased. 3D face models can be applied widely to such contents with high usability. In this paper, a 3D face modeling is attempted from a given single 2D frontal face image. To achieve the goal, we thereafter the feature points using AAM are extracted from the input frontal face image. With the extracted feature points we deform the 3D general model by 2-pass mesh warping, and also the depth extraction based on intensity values is attempted to. Throughout those processes, a universal 3D face modeling method with less expense and less restrictions to application environment was implemented and it's validity was shown through experiments.

본 논문에서는 애니메이션을 위해서 얼굴의 특징표현(Action Units)의 조합하는 방법으로 얼굴 모델링을 하기 위한 3D대응점(3D dense correspondence)을 찾는 방법을 제시한다. AUs는 표정, 감정, 발음을 나타내는 얼굴의 특징표현으로 통계적 방법인 PCA (Principle Component Analysis)를 이용하여 만들 수 있다. 이를 위해서는 우선 3D 모델상의 대응점을 찾는 것이 필수이다. 2D에서 얼굴의 주요 특징 점은 다양한 알고리즘을 이용하여 찾을 수 있지만 그것만으로 3D상의 얼굴 모델을 표현하기에는 적합하지 않다. 본 논문에서는 3D 얼굴 모델의 대응점을 찾기 위해 원기둥 좌표계 (Cylinderical Coordinates System)을 이용하여 3D 모델을 2D로 투사(Projection)시켜서 만든 2D 이미지간의 워핑(Warping) 을 통한 대응점을 찾아 역으로 3D 모델간의 대응점을 찾는다. 이것은 3D 모델 자체를 변환하는 것보다 적은 연산량으로 계산할 수 있고 본래 형상의 변형이 없다는 장점을 가지고 있다.

3D printing has recently been used in various fields. Among various applications, 3D face data must be generated for 3D face printing. A laser scanner is used to acquire 3D face data, but there is a restriction that a person should not move during scanning. In this paper, we propose a 3D face modeling method based on a single image and a face transformation system to use the generated 3D face for virtual cosmetic surgery. We have defined facial feature points from the 3D face database for 3D face data generation. After extracting feature points from a single face image, 3D face of the input face image is generated corresponding to the 3D face feature points defined from the 3D face database. After 3D face modeling, 3D face modification part is applied for use such as virtual cosmetic surgery.

This paper proposes a web-based 3 dimensional face modeling system that makes a realistic facial model efficiently without any 30 scanner or camera that uses in the traditional methods. Without expensive image-input equipments, we can easily create 3B models only using front and side images. The system is available to make 3D facial models as we connect to the facial modeling server on the WWW which is independent from specific platforms and softwares. This system will be implemented using Java 3D API, which includes the functions and conveniences of developed graphic libraries. It is a Client/server architecture which consists of user connection module and 3D facial model creating module. Clients connect with the facial modeling server, input two facial photographic images, detects the feature points, and then create a 3D facial model modifying generic facial model with the points according to the procedures using only the web browser.

주어진 영상으로부터의 3 차원 얼굴 모델링은 얼굴 분석, 애니메이션, 생체 인식 등의 많은 컴퓨터비전 및 그래픽스 응용분야에서 중요한 역할을 하고 있다. 그 중에서도 헤어 영역은 얼굴에 비해 모양의 다양성과 모델의 복잡도가 현저히 높다. 기존의 연구는 주로 얼굴 영역에 한정한 3 차원 얼굴 모델링을 중심으로 이루어졌지만 헤어 모델링은 중요하게 다루지 않고 있는 경우가 많다. 본 논문에서는 심층인공신경망의 일종인 FCN (fully connected network)을 이용하여 인물 영상에서 헤어 부분을 영역화하고 그와 가장 유사한 3D 헤어 모델을 데이터베이스에서 검색하여 3 차원 얼굴 모델에 증강함으로써 완전한 얼굴 모델링을 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. 이는 FCN 을 이용하여 다양한 인물 영상에 대하여 네트워크 학습을 수행하는 과정과 3D 헤어 데이터베이스의 구축 과정을 포함한다. 실험 결과 적절한 수준의 헤어 모델이 3 차원 얼굴 모델링 결과물에 증강됨을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we present realistic 3D head modeling and facial expression systems. For 3D head modeling, we perform generic model fitting to make individual head shape and texture mapping. To calculate the deformation function in the generic model fitting, we determine correspondence between individual heads and the generic model. Then, we reconstruct the feature points to 3D with simultaneously captured images from calibrated stereo camera. For texture mapping, we project the fitted generic model to image and map the texture in the predefined triangle mesh to generic model. To prevent extracting the wrong texture, we propose a simple method using a modified interpolation function. For generating 3D facial expression, we use the vector muscle based algorithm. For more realistic facial expression, we add the deformation of the skin according to the jaw rotation to basic vector muscle model and apply mass spring model. Finally, several 3D facial expression results are shown at the end of the paper.
