Generation of photo-realistic 3D human face models is a hot topic in the area joining computer graphics and computer vision. Many different techniques are used for this purpose, but most of them are not feasible for home users. These techniques may use advanced hardware such as laser scanners, calibrated stereo cameras, or very sophisticated software that can be as expensive as advanced hardware. Face model generation by morphing an initial 3D model with uncalibrated camera photographs is studied in this thesis. Manually marked feature points on photographs are used to deform initial 3D face model. Initial photographs also are processed to form a single texture image covering deformed 3D face model.

3D face reconstruction using stereo vision Dikmen, Mehmet; Halıcı, Uğur; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) 3D face modeling is currently a popular area in Computer Graphics and Computer Vision. Many techniques have been introduced for this purpose, such as using one or more cameras, 3D scanners, and many other systems of sophisticated hardware with related software. But the main goal is to find a good balance between visual reality and the cost of the system. In this thesis, reconstruction of a 3D human face from a pair of stereo cameras is studied. Unlike many other systems, facial feature points are obtained a...
Automatic eye tracking and intermediate view reconstruction for 3D imaging systems Bediz, Yusuf; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006) In recent years, the utilization of 3D display systems became popular in many application areas. One of the most important issues in the utilization of these systems is to render the correct view to the observer based on his/her position. In this thesis, we propose and implement a single user view rendering system for autostereoscopic/stereoscopic displays. The system can easily be installed on a standard PC together with an autostereoscopic display or stereoscopic glasses (shutter, polarized, pulfrich, and...
Texture mapping by multi-image blending for 3D face models Bayar, Hakan; Ulusoy, İlkay; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007) Computer interfaces has changed to 3D graphics environments due to its high number of applications ranging from scientific importance to entertainment. To enhance the realism of the 3D models, an established rendering technique, texture mapping, is used. In computer vision, a way to generate this texture is to combine extracted parts of multiple images of real objects and it is the topic studied in this thesis. While the 3D face model is obtained by using 3D scanner, the texture to cover the model is constr...
Image segmentation with Improved region modeling Ersoy, Ozan; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) Image segmentation is an important research area in digital image processing with several applications in vision-guided autonomous robotics, product quality inspection, medical diagnosis, the analysis of remotely sensed images, etc. The aim of image segmentation can be defined as partitioning an image into homogeneous regions in terms of the features of pixels extracted from the image. Image segmentation methods can be classified into four main categories: 1) clustering methods, 2) region-based methods, 3) ...
Interactive editing of complex terrains on parallel graphics architectures Gün, Ufuk; İşler, Veysi; Department of Computer Engineering (2009) Rendering large terrains on large screens at interactive frame rates is a challenging area of computer graphics. In the last decade, real-time terrain rendering on large screens played a significant role in various simulations and virtual reality systems. To fulfill the demand of these systems, two software tools are developed. The first tool is a Terrain Editor that creates and manipulates large terrains. The second is a Multi-Display Viewer that displays the created terrains on multiple screens. Since the...
