US 2008/0175509 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECONSTRUCTING RESTORED FACIAL IMAGES FROM VIDEO

Abstract

A system and method for performing a facial image restoration is described. The system includes an active appearance model component for fitting an active appearance model to a facial image found in each of a plurality of video frames, a registration component for registering each pixel of each facial image with comparable pixels of each of the other facial images, and a restoration component for producing a restored facial image from the facial images. The method includes fitting an active appearance model to a facial image found in each of a plurality of video frames, registering each pixel of each said facial image with comparable pixels of each of the other facial images, and producing a restored facial image from the facial images.

A system for producing restored facial images from frames of a video, comprising:

an active shape component for fitting an active shape model to a facial image found in each of a plurality of video frames;
a registration component for registering each location within a facial region of each said facial image with a corresponding location in any of the other facial images;
and
a restoration component for producing a restored facial image from the facial images.
