Summary :

We describe an approach for modelling a person's face for model-based coding. The goal is to estimate the 3D shape by combining the contour analysis and shading analysis of the human face image in order to increase the quality of the estimated 3D shape. The motivation for combining contour and shading cues comes from the observation that the shading cue leads to severe errors near the occluding boundary, while the occluding contour cue provides incomplete surface information in regions away from contours. Towards this, we use the deformable model as the common level of integration such that a higher-quality measurement will dominate the depth estimate. The feasibility of our approach is demonstrated using a real facial image.
