Abstract: 3D human face models have been widely used in applications such as facial animation, facial expression recognition, face recognition, etc. Most of the techniques for constructing 3D facial model from face image use two orthogonal views of human face. This paper describes an easy method to generate 3D facial model from a single orthogonal front view of a face. The user has to manually detect the position of both eyes by marking the pupil in the single front image of the given face. Then using the distance between the two eyes and the specified ratio of the generic facial geometry, face boundary and other facial features are detected. Then the facial features and the generic 3D face model are used to generate the 3D facial model.
