text: Although facial hair plays an important role in individual expression, facial-hair
reconstruction is not addressed by current facecapture systems. Our research addresses
this limitation with an algorithm that treats hair and skin surface capture together
in a coupled fashion so that a high-quality representation of hair fibers as well
as the underlying skin surface can be reconstructed. We propose a passive, camera-based
system that is robust against arbitrary motion since all data is acquired within
the time period of a single exposure. Our reconstruction algorithm detects and
traces hairs in the captured images and reconstructs them in 3D using a multiview
stereo approach. Our coupled skin-reconstruction algorithm uses information about
the detected hairs to deliver a skin surface that lies underneath all hairs irrespective
of occlusions. In dense regions like eyebrows, we employ a hair-synthesis method
to create hair fibers that plausibly match the image data. We demonstrate our
scanning system on a number of individuals and show that it can successfully reconstruct
a variety of facial-hair styles together with the underlying skin surface.
