Abstract :
The paper proposes a method to construct a three-dimensional model of an individual face automatically from a front view of a facial image only. The method is realized by estimating unevenness of facial features from isodensity lines on a front view of a facial image and by modifying a wire frame model of a generic face based on the estimated data of facial unevenness
