Abstract:
Images of the face of a subject are captured by an imaging system comprising at least three directional energy sources (e.g. a light sources), and an imaging assembly which captures the images from spatially separated viewpoints. Each eye portion of the face is modelled using specular reflections (“glints”) in at least some of the images to fit the parameters of a three-dimensional parameterized model of the eye surface. Additionally, using at least some the images, a photometric modelling process generates a second model of a skin and/or hair portion of the face. A face model is produced by combining the second model and the eye models. The resulting face model may be used to generate images of the face in relation to an object intended to be used in proximity to the face, such as an item of eyewear. The face model may also be used to design and produce the object.

Claim (Index 6):
An apparatus according to any preceding claim in which there are a plurality of said energy sources, and the processor is arranged:\n to control the directional energy sources, the processor controlling different subsets of the energy sources to produce energy in each of respective successive time periods, and to control the directional energy sensors to capture at least one of the images in each of the time periods, whereby the specular reflections in each of the images are due to the subset of the directional energy sources which produced energy in the corresponding time period.
