This page is part of the old Basel Face Model from 2009, find most recent Basel Face Model here.


Introduction

This is the website of the 3D Basel Face Model (BFM) published by the Computer Science department of the University of Basel. The Morphable Model is calculated from registered 3D scans of 100 male and 100 female faces. We distribute the BFM plus additional data for applications and experiments in academic research and education. The model and its construction are detailed in the paper "A 3D Face Model for Pose and Illumination Invariant Face Recognition".
