Enhancing polarization 3D facial imaging: overcoming azimuth ambiguity without extra depth devices

Résumé

Polarization 3D imaging has been a research hotspot in the field of 3D facial reconstruction because of its biosafety, high efficiency, and simplicity. However, the application of this technology is limited by the multi-valued problem of the azimuth angle of the normal vector. Currently, the most common method to overcome this limitation is to introduce additional depth techniques at the cost of reducing its applicability. This study presents a passive 3D polarization facial imaging method that does not require additional depth-capturing devices. It addresses the issue of azimuth ambiguity based on prior information about the target image's features. Specifically, by statistically analyzing the probability distribution of real azimuth angles, it is found that their quadrant distribution is closely related to the positions of facial feature points. Therefore, through facial feature detection, the polarized normal azimuth angle of each pixel can be accurately assigned to the corresponding quadrant, thus determining a precise unique normal vector and achieving accurate 3D facial reconstruction. Finally, our azimuth angle correction method was validated by simulated polarization imaging results, and it achieved accurate correction for over 75% of the global pixels without using additional depth techniques. Experimental results further indicate that this method can achieve polarization 3D facial imaging under natural conditions without extra depth devices, and the 3D results preserve edge details and texture information.
