Fast-accurate 3D face model generation using a single video camera

In this paper, we present a new method to generate a 3D face model, based on both Data-Driven and Structure-from-Motion approach. Considering both 2D frontal face image constraint, 3D geometric constraint, and likelihood constraint, we are able to reconstruct subject's face model accurately, robustly, and automatically. Using our method, it is possible to create a 3D face model in 5.8 [sec] by only shaking own head freely in front of a single video camera.
