Definition
Face modeling usually refers to the problem of recovering 3D face geometries from one or more images, though the recovery of lighting and skin reflectance is sometimes considered as face modeling as well.
Background
Because face is a special type of object which people are all familiar with, there has been tremendous interests among researchers in the problem of 3D face reconstruction. The most reliable and accurate way to obtain face geometries is by using active sensors such as laser scanners and structured light systems. So far, laser scanners are the most commonly used and most accurate active sensors. Structured light systems are becoming more popular because they are capable of capturing continuous motions. Some structured light systems use visible light sources, while others use invisible light sources such as infrared lights. Visible light systems give better...
