Abstract
A system and method for providing a fast, efficient and accurate method for recovery of depth information from a single image of a face is disclosed. The technique uses a novel thin-plate spline-based dense-correspondence method to align the face, and the representation incorporates a weighted framework, interpreting the depth recovery problem as a weighted data problem.
