Automatic Face Morphing for Transferring Facial Animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we introduce a novel method of automatically finding the training set of RBF networks for morphing a prototype face to represent a new face. This is done by automatically specifying and adjusting corresponding feature points on a target face. The RBF networks are then used to transfer the muscles on the prototype face to the morphed face. The automatic adjusting of the feature points on the target face is done by Genetic Algorithms. The fitness function used in the GA expresses the difference between the surface of the morphed face and the target face. We also present an algorithm to calculate this function fast.

متن کاملClassification and Volume Morphing for Performance-driven Facial Animation
We present a new facial animation approach that produces a wide variety of realistic facial expressions with advantages over existing geometry deformation and morphing methods for performance-driven animation systems. These systems sense and reconstruct a real person's facial expressions from an image sequence. The novelty of our approach is to sense and animate both textures and geometry using...
متن کاملFacial Expression Morphing and Animation with Local Warping Methods
In this paper, we applied local warping techniques to construct a frame work of image-based morphing for facial expressions animation with low complexity. From the experience we obtained in various spatial transformations, the local warping methods are more adequate for facial expressions morphing. We utilized two transformations that can deal with local deformations: piecewise polynomial trans...
متن کاملFacial motion cloning with radial basis functions in MPEG-4 FBA
Facial Motion Cloning (FMC) is the technique employed to transfer the motion of a virtual face (namely the source) to a mesh representing another face (the target), generally having a different geometry and connectivity. In this paper, we describe a novel method based on the combination of the Radial Basis Functions (RBF) volume morphing with the encoding capabilities of the widely used MPEG-4 ...
متن کاملResynthesizing Facial Animation through 3D Model-based Tracking
Given video footage of a person's face, we present new techniques to automatically recover the face position and the facial expression from each frame in the video sequence. A 3D face model is fitted to each frame using a continuous optimization technique. Our model is based on a set of 3D face models that are linearly combined using 3D morphing. Our method has the advantages over previous tech...
