  Abstract

To establish eye contact in video teleconferencing, it is necessary to synthesize a front view image by viewpoint interpolation. We can find the viewing direction of a user, and interpolate an image seen from that viewpoint, which will result in a face image observed from the front. There are two categories of previous research: image based method and model based method. The former is simple to calculate, however, it shows limited performance for complex objects. And the latter is robust to noise while it is computationally expensive. We propose to approximate face images as ellipses and match them to build an ellipsoid and then synthesize a new image from a given virtual camera position. We show that it is simple and robust from various experiments.
