Inner and outer 3D shape reconstruction of puppet head from CT images

Abstract

This paper proposes a method to estimate 3D shape of puppet head for a digital archiving. To reconstruct an inner shape of head, we use CT images. First, we divide four regions (wood, hair, paint and air) by thresholds based on manual directed regions. Subsequently, we divide these regions by a graph cut method. We also extract 3D shapes of parts in puppet head based on a graph cut method. We apply these methods to puppet heads and we confirm effectiveness of our proposed method.
