Facial Expression Analysis for Model-Based Coding of Video Sequences
نویسندگان
چکیده
Picture Coding Symposium, pp. 33-38, Berlin, September 1997. In this paper we present an algorithm for the estimation of 3D motion and the analysis of facial expressions of a speaking person. To constrain the exible body motion, a 3D model of the person is used specifying shape, texture and facial motions. The surface of the model is built with triangular Bsplines leading to a small number of control points that determine the appearance of the person. A set of animation parameters characterizes the facial expression. The proposed algorithm estimates changes in the animation parameters between two successive frames using a hierarchical optical ow based method. The computational requirement for this solution is low due to the linear structure of the algorithm.
