This paper addresses the recovering of 3D pose and animation of the human face in a monocular single image under uncontrolled imaging conditions. Our goal is to fit a 3D animated model in a face image with possibly large variations of head pose and facial expressions. Our data were acquired from filmed epileptic seizures of patients undergoing investigation in the videotelemetry 1unit, La Timone hospital, Marseille, France.
