چکیده

Direct parameterisation is among the most widely used facial animation techniques but requires complicated ways to animate face models which have complex topology. This paper develops a simple solution by introducing a PDE-based facial animation scheme. Using a PDE face model means we only needs to animate a group of boundary curves without using any other conventional surface interpolation algorithms. We describe the basis of the method and show results from a practical implementation.

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...

Three Methods for Making of Character Facial Animation based on Game Engine

Machinima is digital visuals created with game engines that build real-time 3D CG (computer graphic) environment. Composition of scene and facial animation play important role in composition of Machinima’s videos. Character facial animation is frequently used in scene composition that mainly displays face and upper body of the character. Expressing character’s emotion is an important factor in ...

Creating Finite Element Models of Facial Soft Tissue

Physically-based animation techniques enable more realistic and accurate animation to be created. Such approaches require the creation of a complex simulation model that, for computer graphics applications, can efficiently produce realistic-looking animations. We present a process to automatically create animatable nonconforming hexahedral finite element (FE) simulation models of facial soft ti...

Creating Animatable Non-Conforming Hexahedral Finite Element Facial Soft-Tissue Models for GPU Simulation

Physically-based animation techniques enable more realistic and accurate animation to be created. Such approaches require the creation of a complex volumetric model that can be realistically and efficiently simulated, particularly for interactive computer graphics applications. We present an approach to automatically construct animatable non-conforming hexahedral finite element (FE) facial soft...

Facial geometry parameterisation based on Partial Differential Equations

Geometric modelling using Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) has been gradually recognised due to its smooth instinct, as well as the ability to generate a variety of geometric shapes by intuitively manipulating a relatively small set of PDE boundary curves. In this paper we explore and demonstrate the feasibility of the PDE method in facial geometry parameterisation. The geometry of a gener...
