Performance-driven facial animation

ACM SIGGRAPH Computer Graphics, 1990
As computer graphics technique rises to the challenge of rendering lifelike performers, more lifelike performance is required.

Visual reconstruction of dynamic events as 3D video, such as an actor performance or sports action, has advanced to the stage where it is possible to achieve free-viewpoint replay with a quality approaching the captured video. In this talk we present research going beyond replay to allow the creation of 4D models which support interactive animation ...

From the 1950s through the 1990s, the trope of performance was elaborated across a range of academic disciplines, providing a platform for comparing the construction of identities through mimetic embodiment in ritual, work, and everyday life. Today, as animation is being remediated through digital media, both scholars and participants in various types ...
