Abstract

Three-dimensional morphable models of object classes are a powerfultool in modeling, animation and recognition. We introduce here thenew concept of regularized 3D morphable models, along with aniterative learning algorithm, by adding in the statistical model anoise/regularization term which is estimated from the examples set.With regularized 3D morphable models we are able to handle missinginformation, as it often occurs with data obtained by 3Dacquisition systems; additionally, the new models are less complexthan, but as powerful as the non-regularized ones. We present theresults obtained for a set of 3D face models and a comparison withthe ones obtained by a traditional morphable model on the same dataset.
