--- _id: '2103' abstract: - lang: eng 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. author: - first_name: Thabo full_name: Beeler, Thabo last_name: Beeler - first_name: Bernd full_name: Bernd Bickel id: 49876194-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87 last_name: Bickel orcid: 0000-0001-6511-9385 - first_name: Gioacchino full_name: Noris, Gioacchino last_name: Noris - first_name: Paul full_name: Beardsley, Paul A last_name: Beardsley - first_name: Steve full_name: Marschner, Steve last_name: Marschner - first_name: Robert full_name: Sumner, Robert W last_name: Sumner - first_name: Markus full_name: Groß, Markus S last_name: Groß citation: ama: Beeler T, Bickel B, Noris G, et al.
