The present invention discloses a method of acquiring a 3D facial feature from a two-dimensional (2D) image and a system for implementing the same method. The method compares distinctive facial features abstracted from the 2D face image and features abstractedfrom a 3D face data which are stores in a database and comprised of a lot of real human faces, thereby retrieving a most similar 3D face which is most similar to the 2D face image from the database. The system for acquiring the 3D facial feature from the 2D face image is connected to a communication network by way of a web server, the system comprising an abstracting means for abstracting a distinctive facial feature from photograph data provided by aclient when the photograph data is transmitted by way of the web server from the client, comparing means for comparing the distinctive facial feature abstracted from the photograph data with a plurality of feature information which is abstracted from a plurality of 3D face data and a 3D facial feature constructing system for constructing a 3D facial feature using the photograph data provided by the client and the 3D face data having the feature information which substantially matches with the distinctive facial feature of the photograph data.
