  text: In recent years we have seen numerous improvements on 3D scanning and tracking
    of human faces, greatly advancing the creation of digital doubles for film and
    video games. However, despite the high-resolution quality of the reconstruction
    approaches available, current methods are unable to capture one of the most important
    regions of the face - the eye region. In this work we present the first method
    for detailed spatio-temporal reconstruction of eyelids. Tracking and reconstructing
    eyelids is extremely challenging, as this region exhibits very complex and unique
    skin deformation where skin is folded under while opening the eye. Furthermore,
    eyelids are often only partially visible and obstructed due to selfocclusion and
    eyelashes. Our approach is to combine a geometric deformation model with image
    data, leveraging multi-view stereo, optical flow, contour tracking and wrinkle
    detection from local skin appearance. Our deformation model serves as a prior
    that enables reconstruction of eyelids even under strong self-occlusions caused
    by rolling and folding skin as the eye opens and closes. The output is a person-specific,
    time-varying eyelid reconstruction with anatomically plausible deformations. Our
    high-resolution detailed eyelids couple naturally with current facial performance
    capture approaches. As a result, our method can largely increase the fidelity
    of facial capture and the creation of digital doubles.
