An Automatic Method of Building 3D Morphable Face Model

摘要

In this paper, we propose an automatic method to set up a 3D morphable face model. The main idea is to combine the algorithm of Fast-AAM with Thin Plate Splines (TPS) for 3D data alignment. Our method is better than the algorithm of optical flow proposed in [3] [5] because it avoids the local minima problem, and also it is better than the adaptive multi-resolution fitting algorithm in 3D alignment because it is fully automatic and the latter needs to be manually initialized. Result shows that our method is practicable in speed and accuracy.
