Registered 3D-Texture Imaging

Computer Animation ’90

Abstract

In this paper we are presenting synthesis of faces obtained by means of a registered recording of a human face. This recording allows to get the geometrical coordinates and the corresponding intensity of each sample point at the same time. With these data organized in a 4-dimensional B-Spline surface, we are able to greatly improve the realistic quality of the reconstructed picture, coming close to a photographic result.
