Abstract:Obtaining the 3D face data automatically and reconstructing precisely are the research emphases of 3D face reorganization. For lack of mature algorithms and efficient methods for 3D reconstruction, we propose a method for 3D print digital portrait rapid prototyping based on 2D data. In the method, front image, side image and upper image of the face are obtained by 2D photographing. Grids division for face data is implemented in MAYA. OBJ files obtained from MAYA is imported into PROE to get 3D closed model which is imported into JDpaint for NC simulating manufacture. Finally STL files are imported into printers to print 3D face image. Experimental results show that data obtaining, grids division, surface reconstruction and rapid prototyping are implemented successfully in the method.
