چکیده

Static and dynamic realism are both important in computer facial animation. However, for embodied conversational agents in interfaces, and for agents or avatars in virtual environments, movement and behaviour are more important than photorealism. In this paper we summarise our work on two systems that feature aspects of this dynamic realism: coarticulation for visual speech and facial tissue deformation producing expressions and wrinkles.

Automatically Generating Eye Motion in Virtual Agents

Eye Motion has a fundamental role in verbal and non-verbal communication among people. It can express emotions and regulate the flow of conversation. For this reason, it is very important that these movements can be realistic in Computer Animation’s applications, such as virtual humans in general and game/movies characters. This paper presents a model for producing eye movements in synthetic ag...

Data - Driven Facial Modeling and Animation

Avatars, computer animation, and other forms of human-centric computing all potentially require the generation of novel but realistic facial appearance and motion. Such face modeling and animation has recently been the province of computer artists. While manually animated computer faces can be quite expressive, they usually fall short of complete realism in their appearance and motion (the rece...

Using Facial Feature Extraction to Enhance the Creation of 3d Human Models

The creation of personalised 3D characters has evolved to provide a high degree of realism in both appearance and animation. Further to the creation of generic characters the capabilities exist to create a personalised character from images of an individual. This provides the possibility of immersing an individual into a virtual world. Feature detection, particularly on the face, can be used to...

Realistic Speech Animation Based on Observed 3D Face Dynamics

We propose an efficient system for realistic speech animation. The system supports all steps of the animation pipeline, from the capture or design of 3D head models up to the synthesis and editing of the performance. This pipeline is fully 3D, which yields high flexibility in the use of the animated character. Real detailed 3D face dynamics, observed at video frame rate for thousands of points ...

Physically-based Human Neck Simulation

In deformable character animation, the skin deformation of the neck is important to reproduce believable facial animation, and the neck also plays an important role in supporting the head in balance while generating the controlled head movements that are essential to so many aspects of human behavior. However, neck animation is largely overlooked both in computer graphics and animation due to t...
