In this report, we explore the domain of region-based 3D representations of the human face. We begin by noting that although they serve as a key ingredient in many state-of-the-art 3D face reconstruction algorithms, very little research has gone into devis- ing strategies for optimally designing them. In fact, the great majority of such models encountered in the literature is based around manual segmentations of the face into subregions. We propose algorithms that are capable of automatically finding the optimal subdivision given a training set and the number of desired regions. In a cross-validation experiment, we show that part- based models designed using the proposed algorithms are easily capable of outperforming manually segmented models w.r.t.
reconstruction accuracies.
