Abstract

This paper presents a method for synthesis of a novel view of a human face using a pair of images from a stereo camera set. Unlike other published methods our approach does not require an a priori knowledge (e.g. 3D head model) of the synthesized object shape. First 3D shape of a face is recovered using stereo vision technique and then an image from a novel viewpoint in synthesized. Proposed method is applicable in various image-based pattern recognition and biometric tasks as it allows to partially alleviate dependency on object orientation in space.
