Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3D Face Modeling, Analysis and Recognition presents methodologies for analyzing shapes of facial surfaces, develops computational tools for analyzing 3D face data, and illustrates them using state-of-the-art applications. The methodologies chosen are based on efficient representations, metrics, comparisons, and classifications of features that are especially relevant in the context of 3D measurements of human faces. These frameworks have a long-term utility in face analysis, taking into account the anticipated improvements in data collection, data storage, processing speeds, and application scenarios expected as the discipline develops further. The book covers face acquisition through 3D scanners and 3D face pre-processing, before examining the three main approaches for 3D facial surface analysis and recognition: facial curves; facial surface features; and 3D morphable models. Whilst the focus of these chapters is fundamentals and methodologies, the algorithms provided are tested on facial biometric data, thereby continually showing how the methods can be applied. Key features: • Explores the underlying mathematics and will apply these mathematical techniques to 3D face analysis and recognition • Provides coverage of a wide range of applications including biometrics, forensic applications, facial expression analysis, and model fitting to 2D images • Contains numerous exercises and algorithms throughout the book

This book was released on 2011-08-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a baby, one of our earliest stimuli is that of human faces. We rapidly learn to identify, characterize and eventually distinguish those who are near and dear to us. We accept face recognition later as an everyday ability. We realize the complexity of the underlying problem only when we attempt to duplicate this skill in a computer vision system. This book is arranged around a number of clustered themes covering different aspects of face recognition. The first section presents an architecture for face recognition based on Hidden Markov Models; it is followed by an article on coding methods. The next section is devoted to 3D methods of face recognition and is followed by a section covering various aspects and techniques in video. Next short section is devoted to the characterization and detection of features in faces. Finally, you can find an article on the human perception of faces and how different neurological or psychological disorders can affect this.

Book 3D Face Reconstruction and Emotion Analytics with Part based Morphable Models

Download or read book 3D Face Reconstruction and Emotion Analytics with Part based Morphable Models written by Hai Jin and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 3D face reconstruction and facial expression analytics using 3D facial data are new and hot research topics in computer graphics and computer vision. In this proposal, we first review the background knowledge for emotion analytics using 3D morphable face model, including geometry feature-based methods, statistic model-based methods and more advanced deep learning-bade methods. Then, we introduce a novel 3D face modeling and reconstruction solution that robustly and accurately acquires 3D face models from a couple of images captured by a single smartphone camera. Two selfie photos of a subject taken from the front and side are used to guide our Non-Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) induced part-based face model to iteratively reconstruct an initial 3D face of the subject. Then, an iterative detail updating method is applied to the initial generated 3D face to reconstruct facial details through optimizing lighting parameters and local depths. Our iterative 3D face reconstruction method permits fully automatic registration of a part-based face representation to the acquired face data and the detailed 2D/3D features to build a high-quality 3D face model. The NMF part-based face representation learned from a 3D face database facilitates effective global and adaptive local detail data fitting alternatively. Our system is flexible and it allows users to conduct the capture in any uncontrolled environment. We demonstrate the capability of our method by allowing users to capture and reconstruct their 3D faces by themselves. Based on the 3D face model reconstruction, we can analyze the facial expression and the related emotion in 3D space. We present a novel approach to analyze the facial expressions from images and a quantitative information visualization scheme for exploring this type of visual data.

Finally, we address the issue of automatic 2D face recognition across pose using 3D Morphable Model.

Book Low level Fusion and Deformation Modeling for Textured 3D Face Biometrics

Download or read book Low level Fusion and Deformation Modeling for Textured 3D Face Biometrics written by Faisal Radhi M. Al-Osaimi and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [Truncated abstract] Automatic face recognition has many crucial applications in a range of domains including human-machine interaction and security. The non-intrusive nature of face recognition is a key reason behind its suitability to such a broad range of applications. However, often these applications require high recognition accuracies and robustness which are challenging to achieve due to variations. Variations in pose, facial expression and illumination conditions may obscure the essential visual and/or geometric cues for recognition. The ability of a face recognition system to represent and match faces such that the utilized descriptive cues outweigh the associated variations is a key factor in enhancing its accuracy and robustness. This thesis presents novel algorithms that strive to achieve this goal by combining the descriptive cues in textured 3D facial scans at lower levels (data and feature fusion levels) and/or modeling the facial expression and illumination variations. An approach for combining fields of weak local and global geometrical cues (computed for each scan vertex) at the feature level was devised and used for compact representation and matching of 3D faces. The extracted fields are independent of the coordinate system in which the scan vertices were defined and hence the representation is tolerant to minor pose variations. The combined representation has demonstrated considerably high descriptiveness. In another presented approach, only local regions around key-points on the facial scans were considered. Heuristic measures for the descriptiveness of 3D local regions were defined and used for robust matching. The matching enforces consistent 3D rigid transformations and global structures among matched scans but on the other hand it allows for few mismatches among the local regions. Hence, it avoids the effects of deformed regions on matching. While the above strategies of combining information with and without the avoidance of the deformed regions gave a high recognition performance for scans under neutral expressions (minor deformations), the reported variation modeling approaches have shown higher recognition accuracies for faces with neutral or nonneutral expressions. The thesis also demonstrates that low level multimodal fusion in conjunction with variation modeling gives a higher performance than unimodal recognition and higher level fusion. Another contribution of this thesis is a novel approach for learning and morphing 3D expression deformations of 3D facial scans to those of target scans. This neutralizes the effects of expression variations among matched scans. In an extension of this approach, unseen facial scans under any facial expression were decomposed into estimates of neutral 3D faces and deformation residues. This is a very challenging problem due to the lack of the target scan. The estimated neutral faces and the deformations residues were used for face recognition and expression classification, respectively. The thesis also presents a novel approach for illumination normalization of the facial texture in textured scans...

Book 3d Facial Feature Extraction and Recognition

Download or read book 3d Facial Feature Extraction and Recognition written by Sokyna Al-Qatawneh and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recently with the development of more affordable 3D acquisition systems and the availability of 3D face databases, 3D face recognition has been attracting interest to tackle the limitations in performance of most existing 2D systems. In this research, we introduce a robust automated 3D Face recognition system that implements 3D data of faces with different facial expressions, hair, shoulders, clothing, etc., extracts features for discrimination and uses machine learning techniques to make the final decision. A novel system for automatic processing for 3D facial data has been implemented using multi stage architecture; in a pre-processing and registration stage the data was standardized, spikes were removed, holes were filled and the face area was extracted. Then the nose region, which is relatively more rigid than other facial regions in an anatomical sense, was automatically located and analysed by computing the precise location of the symmetry plane. Then useful facial features and a set of effective 3D curves were extracted. Finally, the recognition and matching stage was implemented by using CCNN and SVM for classification, and the KNN algorithms for matching.
