Using 3D Morphable Models for 3D Avatars and 2D Face Recognition

In the past decade, 3D statistical face model has received much attention by both the commercial and public sectors. It can be used for face modelling for photo-realistic personalized 3D avatars and for the application 2D face recognition technique in biometrics. This book describes how to achieve an automatic 3D face reconstruction system that could be helpful for building photo-realistic personalized 3D avatars and for 2D face recondition with pose variability.
