Summary
This special issue delves into the cutting-edge technology of three-dimensional (3D) facial reconstruction, which generates a 3D model of a face by estimating its shape and structure from a two-dimensional (2D) image. This technique significantly enhances workflows and improves output quality in various fields such as computer vision, graphic design, game development, and film technology. Creating lifelike virtual characters with realistic faces in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR) and enhancing the realism of gaming characters are crucial objectives. The 3D facial reconstruction technique enables detailed facial expressions, emotions, and lip movements in virtual characters, thereby increasing their believability and realism.
Both original research and reviews will be considered. The following subtopics are the particular interests of this special issue, including but not limited to:
1) Advanced Techniques in 3D Facial Reconstruction from 2D Images
2) Integrating Multi-Modal Data for Robust 3D Facial Reconstruction
3) Enhancing Realism in Virtual Characters
Keywords
Facial Expressions, 3D Reconstruction, Graph Attention Network, Applications in VR/AR environments and interactive media, Hybrid Neural Network Architectures
