Abstract

In recent years, many 3D face reconstruction from image methods have been introduced and most of them have shown incredible results. However, methods such as photogrammetry require images from multiple views and can be very time-consuming. Deep learning based methods, on the other hand, are faster and more efficient but heavily rely on the base face models and training datasets. Meanwhile, most base face models lack Asian facial features, and high-quality Vietnamese facial image databases are still not available yet. In this paper, we propose an approach that increases the accuracy of Vietnamese 3D faces generated from a single image by creating a new mean face shape and training a convolution neural network with our dataset. This method is compact and can improve the quality of 3D face reconstruction using facial image data with specific geographical and race characteristics.
