Statistical 3D Shape Models of Human Faces
Timo Bolkart, Alan Brunton, Augusto Salazar, Stefanie Wuhrer
| Statistical 3D shape models of human faces have a variety of applications, such as the generation of realistic synthetic face models or the reconstruction and tracking of detailed 3D face models from input images or point clouds. These faces can then be used in applications, such as image or video editing, tele-presence, or ergonomic design. | |
| For our research, we have computed the following four high-quality statistical 3D shape models of human faces based on the BU-3DFE face database. We make all four statistical models available for non-commercial research purposes. We ask that you respect the conditions of using the models, which are detailed in the readme.pdf files provided with the models. | |
