DenseFace3D

This is a software for the reconstruction of a real-time 3D face model from a monocular camera by Rui Huang.

Demo: Youtube or Tencent Video

Feature:

Real-time landmark detection, mesh densifying (spline interpolation), triangulation and texture mapping for each frame.
Two stages buffering — Both the landmark detection and spline interpolation can fail and the last valid instance is kept in those cases.
Fixed location, stabilization and auto-scaling — The the capture is robust to face movements (both in translation and distance) and presented as the average of the locations of last several frames.

If you have any question, feel free to reach me at huangrui@cmu.edu. Welcome to checkout my homepage.

This work was done during my undergraduate internship at Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Dependencies:

Note: Please make sure conn.txt and landmark.txt and dlib's default face landmarking model file shape_predictor_68_face_landmarks.dat (download here) are in the same directory as the executable.

Installation:

mkdir build

cd build

cmake .. -Ddlib_DIR=path/to/dlib/ (make sure the file dlib_DIR/dlib/cmake exists)

make

Usage:

the program will use your webcamera by default.

You can specify a video file as the first command line argument.
