Skull-to-Face: Anatomy-Guided 3D Facial Reconstruction and Editing

arXiv:2403.16207v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Deducing the 3D face from a skull is an essential but challenging task in forensic science and archaeology. Existing methods for automated facial reconstruction yield inaccurate results, suffering from the non-determinative nature of the problem that a skull with a sparse set of tissue depth cannot fully determine the skinned face. Additionally, their texture-less results require further post-processing stages to achieve a photo-realistic appearance. This paper proposes an end-to-end 3D face reconstruction and exploration tool, …
