In recent years, 3D surface imaging has been adopted in oculofacial surgeries; 3D measurements have facilitated surgical planning and post-operative assessment. Furthermore, life-like 3D visualization has provided a promising alternative as tools of communication and training. However, such surface imaging and visualization technologies remain restricted to the legacy systems. In this paper, we present a 3D surface imaging and reconstruction system made from off-The-shelf components. Our imaging setup consists of custom-made stereo cameras and structured light projection. We demonstrate a true-To-scale 3D reconstruction of the frontal part of the head of a human subject, by capturing its multiple views. We use a non-intrusive auto-calibration method to ensure reconstruction accuracy. The paper also discusses the lighting conditions of such capture procedures, as such parameters may severely affect the performance. © 2018 IEEE.
