Abstract

Reproducing high quality facial expressions is an important challenge in human-computer interaction. Laser-scanners offer an expensive solution to such a problem with image based alternatives being a low-resolution alternative. In this paper, we propose a new method for stereo reconstruction from multiple video pairs that is capable of producing high resolution facial models. To this end, a combinatorial optimization approach is considered and is coupled in time to produce high resolution depth maps. Such optimization is addressed with the use of graph-cuts leading to precise reconstruction of facial expressions that can then be used for animation.
