3D Face Processing: Modeling, Analysis and Synthesis introduces the
frontiers of 3D face processing techniques. It reviews existing 3D face
processing techniques, including techniques for 3D face geometry
modeling; 3D face motion modeling; and 3D face motion tracking and
animation. Then it discusses a unified framework for face modeling,
analysis and synthesis. In this framework, the authors present new
methods for modeling complex natural facial motion, as well as face
appearance variations due to illumination and subtle motion. Then the
authors apply the framework to face tracking, expression recognition and
face avatar for HCI interface. They conclude this book with comments on
future work in the 3D face processing framework.
3D Face Processing: Modeling, Analysis and Synthesis will interest
those working in face processing for intelligent human computer
interaction and video surveillance. It contains a comprehensive survey
on existing face processing techniques, which can serve as a reference
for students and researchers. It also covers in-depth discussion on face
motion analysis and synthesis algorithms, which will benefit more
advanced graduate students and researchers.
