3D shape reconstruction from 2D images is an inverse problem, and is therefore mathematically ill-posed. One solution to 3D shape reconstruction problem is to use a model based approach. This paper presents an analysis by synthesis method for solving 3D face reconstruction problems using anatomical landmarks and intensity from 2D frontal face images.

To improve the quality of 3D shape reconstruction we incorporate a number of steps in analysis by synthesis framework. Firstly, we approach the 3D model construction problem by using rigid and non rigid surface registration. Secondly, we simplify the shape estimation by using multidimensional amoeba optimization to optimize shape parameters while mapping texture directly using 3D-2D alignment. Thirdly, we evaluate the quality of the 3D shape reconstruction in the context of 3D shape error as well as by visual analysis.

Abstract


3D shape reconstruction from 2D images is an inverse problem, and is therefore mathematically ill-posed. One solution to 3D shape reconstruction problem is to use a model based approach. This paper presents an analysis by synthesis method for solving 3D face reconstruction problems using anatomical landmarks and intensity from 2D frontal face images.

To improve the quality of 3D shape reconstruction we incorporate a number of steps in analysis by synthesis framework. Firstly, we approach the 3D model construction problem by using rigid and non rigid surface registration. Secondly, we simplify the shape estimation by using multidimensional amoeba optimization to optimize shape parameters while mapping texture directly using 3D-2D alignment. Thirdly, we evaluate the quality of the 3D shape reconstruction in the context of 3D shape error as well as by visual analysis.
