Face Expressions Animation in e-Learning
نویسندگان
چکیده
Learning is collaborative process where teacher/ tutor/ instructor and student work together. Loosing face to face audiovisual communication in electronic and distant learning can be replaced by a video conference. Another possibility is to use embodied conversational agents with the ability to synthesize human speech and simulate facial expressions (talking head). This paper summarizes the state of the art in modeling and animation of human face expressions and shows some results achieved in this field at the Faculty of Informatics and Information Technologies, STU in Bratislava.

Analysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model
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 کاملExpression transfer for facial sketch animation
This paper presents a hierarchical animation method for transferring facial expressions extracted from a performance video to different facial sketches. Without any expression example obtained from target faces, our approach can transfer expressions by motion retargetting to facial sketches. However, in practical applications, the image noise in each frame will reduce the feature extraction acc...

متن کاملHigh-resolution Animation of Facial Dynamics
This paper presents a framework for performance-based animation and retargeting of high-resolution face models from motion capture. A novel method is introduced for learning a mapping between sparse 3D motion capture markers and dense high-resolution 3D scans of face shape and appearance. A high-resolution facial expression space is learnt from a set of 3D face scans as a person specific morpha...
متن کاملLearning and synthesizing MPEG-4 compatible 3-D face animation from video sequence
In this paper, we present a new system that applies an example-based learning method to learn facial motion patterns from a video sequence of individual facial behavior such as lip motion and facial expressions, and using that to create vivid threedimensional (3-D) face animation according to the definition of MPEG-4 face animation parameters. The system consists of three key modules, face trac...
