Abstract (arXiv)

3D face reconstruction is a challenging problem but also an important task in the field of computer vision and graphics. Recently, many researchers put attention to the problem and a large number of articles have been published. Single image reconstruction is one of the branches of 3D face reconstruction, which has a lot of applications in our life. This paper is a review of the recent literature on 3D face reconstruction from a single image.
