Abstract

Nonrigid Structure-From-Motion is a well-known approach to estimate time-varying 3D structures from 2D input image sequences. For challenging problems such as the reconstruction of human faces, state-of-the-art approaches estimate statistical shape spaces from training data. It is common practice to use orthographic or weak-perspective camera models to map 3D to 2D points. We propose to use a projective camera model combined with a multilinear tensor-based face model, enabling approximation of a dense 3D face surface by sparse 2D landmarks. Using a projective camera is beneficial, as it is able to handle perspective projections and particular camera motions which are critical for affine models. We show how the nonlinearity of the projective model can be linearized so that its parameters can be estimated by an alternating-least-squares approach. This enables simple and fast estimation of the model parameters. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated using challenging real image data.
