ENHANCED REAL-TIME FACE MODELS FROM STEREO IMAGING
First Claim
Patent Images
1. An image processing method using a 3D face model, comprising:
- generating a stereoscopic image of a face, including using a dual-lens camera, or using a method including moving a camera relative to the face to capture facial images from more than one perspective, or applying a depth from defocus process including capturing at least two differently focused images of an approximately same scene, or combinations thereof;
creating a depth map based on the stereoscopic image;
generating a 3D face model of the face region from the stereoscopic image and the depth map; and
applying the 3D face model to process an image.

Abstract
A stereoscopic image of a face is generated. A depth map is created based on the stereoscopic image. A 3D face model of the face region is generated from the stereoscopic image and the depth map. The 3D face model is applied to process an image.

12. A method of determining a characteristic of a face within a scene captured in a digital image, comprising:
-
acquiring digital images from at least two perspectives including a face within a scene, and generating a stereoscopic image based thereon; generating and applying a 3D face model based on the stereoscopic image, the 3D face model comprising a class of objects including a set of model components; obtaining a fit of said model to said face including adjusting one or more individual values of one or more of the model components of said 3D face model; based on the obtained fit of the model to said face in the scene, determining at least one characteristic of the face; and electronically storing, transmitting, applying face recognition to, editing, or displaying a modified version of at least one of the digital images or a 3D image based on the acquired digital images including the determined characteristic or a modified value thereof, or combinations thereof. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
