Abstract

In this paper, we report our newly developed 3D face modeling system with arbitrary expressions in a high level of detail using the topographic analysis and mesh instantiation process. Given a sequence of images of facial expressions at frontal views, we automatically generate 3D expressions at arbitrary views. Our face modeling system consists of two major components: facial surface representation using topographic analysis and generic model individualization based on labeled surface features and surface curvatures. The realism of the generated individual model is demonstrated through 3D views of facial expressions in videos. This work targets the accurate modeling of face and face expression for human computer interaction and 3D face recognition.
