Tracking Facial Motion
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a computer system that allows real-time tracking of facial expressions. Sparse, fast visual measurements using 2-D templates are used to observe the face of a subject. Rather than track features on the face, the distributed response of a set of templates is used to characterize a given facial region. These measurements are coupled via a linear interpolation method to states in a physically-based model of facial animation, which includes both skin and muscle dynamics. By integrating real-time 2D image-processing with 3-D models, we obtain a system that is able to quickly track and interpret complex facial motions.

Capturing real facial motions from videos enables automatic creation of dynamic models for facial animation. In this paper, we propose an explanation-based facial motion tracking algorithm based on a piecewise Bézier volume deformation model (PBVD). The PBVD is a suitable model both for synthesis and analysis of facial images. With this model, basic facial movements, or action units, are first ...

Facial tracking is a key step for face modeling, coding and animation. In this paper we present a robust method of facial tracking in stereo vision. We use an efficient representation of 3-D face motion, consisting of global head motion and local facial deformation. Stereo vision is utilized to measure 3-D coordinates of the face, the global and local motion parameters of the tracked face is so...

This paper addresses the problem of wire-frame tracking by accurate analysis of the motion and the shape of the facial features in head-and-shoulders scenes. Accurate wire-frame tracking is of paramount importance for correct reconstruction of the encoded image, especially in the areas occupied by the lips and the eyes. An entirely new algorithm for tracking the motion of a semantic wire-frame ...
