| Summary: | A method to create 3D-face image using 2D-face images is the objective of this research. The 3D-face image is constructed using a set of 3D-face images of other persons available in a face database. The 3D-face image actually depicts a parameterized form in terms of depth and texture. This concept can be used to facilitate creating a 3D-face image from 2D database. For this purpose, a 3D-face database is first developed. When a 2D-face image is presented to the system, a 3D-face image that starts with an average 3D-face image (derived from the 3D-face database) is projected onto the 2D-image plane, with necessary rotation, translation, scaling and interpolation. The projected image is then compared with the input image; and, an optimization algorithm is applied to minimize an error index by selecting 3D-depth and texture parameters. Hence, the projected image is derived. Once the algorithm converges, the resulting 3D-depth and the texture parameters can be employed to construct a 3D-face image of the subject photographed in the 2D-images. A merit of this method is that only the depth and texture parameters of the compared images are required to be stored in the database. Such data can be used either for the recreation of a 3D-image of the test subject or for any biometric authentication (based on 3D face recognition). Results from an experimental study presented in the thesis illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, which has applications in biometric authentication and 3D computer graphics areas. | |
