Automatic Feature Extraction and Face Synthesis in Facial Image Coding
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a real-time method that automatically extracts facial feature points is proposed. Based upon this technique, we also present a procedure to encode facial images efficiently. For clarity, the proposed method is divided into analysis part and synthesis part. The analysis part includes face tracking, feature extraction, and pose estimation. All of these procedures are applicable for live video applications. In synthesis part, a new face image is synthesized using one base image and a small amount of feature images. The current performance of feature extraction is about 8 frames per second on a pentinum II 233MHz PC with an image size 320x240.

Automatic Face Recognition via Local Directional Patterns
Automatic facial recognition has many potential applications in different areas of humancomputer interaction. However, they are not yet fully realized due to the lack of an effectivefacial feature descriptor. In this paper, we present a new appearance based feature descriptor,the local directional pattern (LDP), to represent facial geometry and analyze its performance inrecognition. An LDP feat...
متن کاملAutomatic Facial Feature Extraction in Model-Based Coding
Model-based coding is a new image sequence compression technique for very low bit rate coding. Most researchers have paid more attention to facial image analysis and synthesis because facial images are very important in multimedia communication applications, such as video phone, video conferencing, remote learning etc. This coding method represents the image content in a structural way. This is...

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...
متن کاملSynthesis of human facial expressions based on the distribution of elastic force applied by control points
Facial expressions play an essential role in delivering emotions. Thus facial expression synthesis gain interests in many fields such as computer vision and graphics. Facial actions are generated by contraction and relaxation of the muscles innervated by facial nerves. The combination of those muscle motions is numerous. therefore, facial expressions are often person specific. But in general, f...
متن کاملA Fully Automatic Approach to Facial Feature Detection and Tracking
The detection of facial features is a necessary step for a wide range of applications e.g. person veriication, lipreading and model-based face coding. Due to changes in illumination, visual angle and facial expressions , the variability of facial features in their appearance is high. A robust approach to facial feature detection has to handle these variations. In this framework, we present an a...
