Figure 2.7. <strong>Face</strong> modeling using anthropometric measurements (downloaded<br />
from [35]): (a) anthropometric measurements; (b) a B-spline face model.<br />
be used <strong>for</strong> face modeling. For instance, Lengagne et al. [106] <strong>and</strong> Chen et al. [112]<br />
built face models from a pair of stereo images. Atick et al. [107] <strong>and</strong> Yan et al.<br />
[108] reconstructed 3D face surfaces based on the Karhonen-Loeve (KL) trans<strong>for</strong>m<br />
<strong>and</strong> the shape-from-shading technique. Zhao et al. [109] made use of a symmetric<br />
shape-from-shading technique to build a 3D face model <strong>for</strong> recognition. There<br />
are other methods which combine both shape-from-stereo (which extracts low-spatial<br />
frequency components of 3D shape) <strong>and</strong> shape-from-shading (extracting high-spatial<br />
frequency components) to reconstruct 3D faces [113], [114], [115]. See [116] <strong>for</strong> additional<br />
methods to obtain facial surface data. However, currently it is still difficult to<br />
extract sufficient in<strong>for</strong>mation about the facial geometry only from 2D images. This<br />
difficulty is the reason why Guenter et al. [117]<br />
utilize a large number of fiducial<br />
points to capture 3D face geometry <strong>for</strong> photorealistic animation. Even though we<br />
can obtain dense 3D facial measurements from high-cost 3D digitizers, it takes too<br />
much time <strong>and</strong> it is expensive to scan a large number of human subjects.<br />
