Automatic image-based 3D head modeling

3D Head Modeling System is software for automatic 3D head model creation from front and profile photograph developed in this work. After loading input images, the facial features are automatically detected. User can manually adjust detected positions to reach better precision. Finally the 3D head model is reconstructed from input images.

3D head reconstruction can be done in three basic steps. In the first two user loads the front and profile head photographs. In the final step the 3D head model is automatically reconstructed. Model can be exported to Collada format for further use in the other applications.

Collada Engine

Collada Engine is package of libraries for loading and rendering digital content saved in collada document files. Libraries support loading geometry, nodes, transformations, textures etc. from .dae files. 3D content is rendered with use of OpenGL. Libraries support also shader loading, compiling and using in rendering. Libraries can be downloaded from this link or from project website.

Libraries are created in Borland Developer Studio and need it for proper function. Basic component needed for 3D model loading is TXMLDocument component from Borland Developer Studio.
