Online Smart Face Morphing Engine with Prior Constraints and Local Geometry Preservation

چکیده
We present an online system for automatic smart face morphing, which can be accessed at http://facewarping.com. This system morphs the user-uploaded image to “beautify” it by embedding features from a user-selected celebrity. This system consists of three major modules: facial feature point detection, geometry embedding, and image warping. To embed the features of a celebrity face and at the same time preserve the features of the original face, we formulate an optimization problem which we call prior multidimensional scaling (prior MDS). We propose an iterated Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm (ILMA) to efficiently solve prior MDS in the general case. This online system allows the user to configure the morphing parameters, and has been tested under different conditions.

Classification 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 کاملFace morphing using 3D-aware appearance optimization
Traditional automatic face morphing techniques tend to generate blurry intermediate frames when the two input faces differ significantly. We propose a new face morphing approach that deals explicitly with large pose and expression variations. We recover the 3D face geometry of the input images using a projection on a prelearned 3D face subspace. The geometry is interpolated by factoring the exp...

متن کاملA New Compatible Remeshing Approach for 3D Face Construction and Expression Clone
This paper presents a new compatible remeshing approach, by morphing with Radial Basis Function based on approximate geodesic distance (G-RBF) followed by a mesh optimization to generate compatible meshes efficiently while approximating the input target geometry accurately. To test the proposed approach, a prototype is implemented to clone expressions onto the personalized 3D face model. A PCA ...
متن کاملImproving Face Recognition by Video Spatial Morphing
The focus of this chapter is in the problem of using technology to grant access to restricted areas by authorised persons, hereafter called ‘clients’, and to deny access to unauthorised or unidentified persons, the so called ‘impostors’. Conventional methods, such as magnetic or smart cards, user/password login and others, are being progressively recognised as insecure due to their many shortco...
