We propose a method based on a factorization algorithm; it automatically constructs a 3D face model from an image sequence that contains turntable motion of the face as captured by a monocular camera. Our proposal uses multiple Active Appearance Models for feature tracking to avoid manual operations and to recover the 3D shape of the whole face. In contrast to previous methods, our approach requires no 3D generic model and can obtain the user’s individual 3D face shape. Experiments conducted on real image sequences demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.","PeriodicalId":153591,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128904824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the field of astronomy, some physical models have been developed to simulate the sun’s turbulence. Most of the previous models are difficult to be applied in the making of CG images since they require a considerable amount of time even when using a supercomputer. The subject of our research is the visual simulation of the phenomena observed above the photosphere, namely solar prominences, because these are characteristic phenomena of the sun that can greatly influence the visual impact in movies and games.The sun is mainly composed of ionized plasma, and its behavior can be treated as a fluid. However, unlike gas, the plasma fluid is influenced by the magnetic field. Thus, magnetic field calculations are needed to calculate the plasma behavior. We use the magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) equations to simulate the behavior of plasma. We propose a new method which can simulate a prominence in a practical computation time. The computation cost is reduced by simplifying the phenomena inside the sun: we only consider the phenomena after the solar prominence erupts because the phenomena before the eruption dose not manifest itself in a visual way. To render the simulation results, we emulate an observation method that extracts the specific spectrum emission from the solar plasma.","PeriodicalId":153591,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124650809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As it is very time consuming to generate digital road maps this way, we propose a system to generate digital maps using image processing of aerial images. Conventionally, most methods of road extraction use RGB features. However, the use in urban areas of RGB features has many problems as they are affected severely by shadows cast by buildings. On the other hand, road extraction using a Digital Surface Model (DSM) is not affected by shadows because a DSM is elevation data. However, it is too difficult to distinguish between a road and other objects, such as a railway, because the elevations of these objects are similar. In this paper, we use DSM and RGB aerial images to resolve the problems of each type of data. We segment a DSM to extract the road areas from the DSM; however, the segmentation method conventionally used could not extract narrow roads because that method is sensitive to noise in a DSM. In light of this, we next propose a method of image segmentation using Boundary code. The proposed segmentation method is robust against the noise in a DSM. In an experiment using actual data, the accuracy of road extraction using the proposed method was 83.7%, against the 76.0% achieved using the conventional method. In addition, the proposed method achieves faster segmentation than the conventional method. Moreover, this method extracted road areas more accurately in urban areas than by just using RGB or DSM.","PeriodicalId":153591,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130749502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A morphable 3D model of the human face is developed to describe the variations in appearance while also using a small number of parameters. To find the physical parameters of the 3D objects that might strongly contribute to their visual impressions, the impression ratings obtained for learning samples are computationally investigated. Based on the quantification of higher-order impressions by the Semantic Differential (SD) method, the visual impression of the face can be transformed by manipulating the parameters defined in the morphable 3D model. The ability of the proposed method to transform impressions is confirmed by the paired comparison method.","PeriodicalId":153591,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of the Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131002445","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
