Critic review on MPEG-4 face and body animation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The MPEG-4 Face and Body Animation (FBA) specifications aims at standardizing an interchange format for specifying virtual face and body modeling and related animation parameters. The scene graph concept, the FBA nodes, semantics and representation of the animation parameters as well as compression and streaming capabilities are successively addressed. The compatibility between virtual character animation techniques and MPEG-4 FBA is analyzed in terms of modeling, deformation behavior and animation capabilities.

Advanced animation framework for virtual character within the MPEG-4 standard
This paper presents an advanced animation framework for virtual character within the MPEG-4 standard. The Bonebased Animation (BBA) specifications are described and it is shown how they extend the MPEG-4 Face and Body Animation (FBA) specifications. Specifically, the scene graph concept, the BBA nodes related to bone and muscle modeling, the animation parameters and the compression capabilities...
متن کاملEfficient Modeling of Virtual Humans in MPEG-4
This and the accompanying paper present an overview of the face and body animation object in the MPEG-4 Version 2 standard. The MPEG-4 standard includes the representation, compression of virtual human models and their interface with other MPEG-4 objects, with bitrate requirements as low as 1 Kbit/second. In this paper we give an overview of geometrical modeling techniques for the FBA object, a...
متن کاملMultimodal Animation System Based on the Mpeg-4 Standard
In this paper we describe experiments of real-time facial animation for generation of various virtual actors using high level-actions, compatible with MPEG-4 standard specifications. An MPEG-4 compatible synthetic face and body are integrated into an interactive real-time application allowing the user-friendly control of virtual humans' facial animation and its speech in real-time. This applica...
متن کاملFace and 2-D mesh animation in MPEG-4
This paper presents an overview of some of the synthetic visual objects supported by MPEG-4 version-1, namely animated faces and animated arbitrary 2-D uniform and Delaunay meshes. We discuss both specification and compression of face animation and 2D-mesh animation in MPEG-4. Face animation allows to animate a proprietary face model or a face model downloaded to the decoder. We also address in...
متن کاملFacial motion cloning
We propose a method for automatically copying facial motion from one 3D face model to another, while preserving the compliance of the motion to the MPEG-4 FBA standard. Despite the enormous progress in the field of Facial Animation, producing a new animatable face from scratch is still a tremendous task for an artist. Although many methods exist to animate a face automatically based on procedur...
