3D Modelling, Simulation and Prediction of Facial Wrinkles

Abstract: The FA (facial ageing) process has been of a great interest to many researchers and some firms like airports and police departments, this is due to the fact that the face appearance changes as people age resulting in difficulties identifying certain individuals. In this paper, 2D wrinkle maps will be used in the design of a 3D system for the purpose of facial wrinkles simulation and prediction. Our findings will challenge many commercial softwares in the innovation of the techniques in setting solid grounds to generate real-time 3D wrinkles that can be used later for various reasons. The 2D binary wrinkles will be mapped on the corresponding 3D face models using the generated outlined images. NURBS curves will then be projected on those wrinkles to form a 3D wrinkle map. The coloured wrinkle map, as well as some parameters, will be combined together in an algorithm to predict the appearance of the individual wrinkles in every age group that are divided into decades, starting from the age of 20. The novelty of the adopted procedure in comparison to the previous works is the new elements that have been integrated and collaborated to boost accuracy and generate a more realistic outcome.
