An automatic construction of a person´s face model from the person´s two orthogonal views

A new approach to the construction of a person´s three-dimensional face model from the person´s two orthogonal views is presented. This approach is a no hair-style interference method, which constructs the person´s face model and hair model independently. The person´s fine facial structures, i.e., eyes, nose, and lips, as well as the person´s outline in two orthogonal views are obtained. A feature-based generic three-dimensional bald head model is then used to adjust its predefined features to fit the person´s fine structures and outline morphologically in two respective views. The independently obtained three-dimensional hair model is put on the morphed bald head model to be the person´s three-dimensional geometrical face model. The person´s realistic face model is finally obtained by using the texture mapping of the person´s image in two orthogonal views onto the person´s three-dimensional face model. This paper shows the detail process of the construction of a person´s face model from the person´s two orthogonal views.
