M. Ramasubramanian, M.A. Dorai Rangaswamy, Hema Prabha, A. Dilipan

Abstract


In this paper we present a system that automatically generates 3D face model from a single frontal image of a face with a generic 3D model. Our system consists of three components. The first component detects features such as eyes, mouth, eyebrows and facial contour. After detecting the second component is automatically adjusted

The general model of 3D face model in 3D using special geometric transformations. Once the model is almost six basic facial expressions are generated using MPEG - 4 facial animation parameters (SPF). To generate transitions between these facial expressions we use 3D shape morphing between the corresponding face models and textures blending relevant. Our system has the advantage that it is fully automatic powerful and fast. It can be used in a variety of applications from depth is not critical, such as games, avatars, etc. Our results show facial recognition system accuracy Morphing. We have tested and evaluated using a database bu - 3DFE


Keywords
