Reanimation of Paintings
Volker Blanz,
Curzio Basso, Tomaso Poggio, Thomas Vetter.
From the paintings of Vermeer, Raffael, Hopper, and Tischbein,
3D shape of faces was reconstructed by an automated fitting algorithm,
based on a morphable model of 3D faces that captures
individual differences between faces as well as facial expressions
from dataset of 3D scans.
After adding the teeth from an example scan,
the faces are animated according to the facial expressions
of the morphable model, and rendered back into the original images,
using the perspective and illumination estimated by the fitting
algorithm.
