Abstract

This paper presents a global scheme for 3D face reconstruction and face segmentation into a limited number of analytical patches from stereo images. From a depth map, we generate a 3D model of the face which is iteratively deformed under stereo and shape-from-shading constraints as well as differential features. This model enables us to improve the quality of the depth map, from which we perform the segmentation and the approximation of the surface
