Abstract

In this paper, the similar characteristics of human face has been used to relax the numbers of the input into one single face image, and reconstruct the 3D shape based on a couple statistical model. Moreover the lighting conditions of the single input image can be different from that of the training database. The experiment results have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method.
