Next Meeting: Date Time Sign 186 7.3 Test Cases Guidelines for Input Calibration: The proposed system generates better results based on high resolution front, lateral photograph and cephalogram. Ideally input image should have more than 4kx4k resolution. The photograph should be taken without any head tilt and with plain background and neutral expression. In case of front and lateral photograph input, both the images should be calibrated and aligned beforehand. In spite of degenerated input, proposed system attempts to predict 3d face with approximation technique. Above images show the calibration required for input. In order to get better results Researcher suggests that input photographs should meet above mentioned criteria. 187 1.
