Markerless reconstruction and synthesis of dynamic facial expressions
Computer Vision and Image Understanding, 2011In this paper we combine methods from the field of computer vision with surface editing techniques to generate animated faces, which are all in full correspondence to each other. The inputs for our system are synchronized video streams from multiple cameras.

Automatic Synthesis of Realistic Facial Expressions
2007 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology, 2007Facial expressions exhibit not only facial feature motions, but also subtle changes in illumination and appearance. Since it is difficult to generate realistic facial expressions by using only geometric deformations, the details such as textures should also be deformed to achieve expression that is more realistic.

Synthesis of expressive facial animations: A multimodal caricatural mirror
Journal on Multimodal User Interfaces, 2007This paper describes a natural and intuitive way to create expressive facial animations, using a novel approach based on the so-called ‘multimodal caricatural mirror’ (MCM). Taking as an input an audio-visual video sequence of the user’s face, the MCM generates a facial animation, in which the prosody and the facial expressions of emotions can either ...

Hierarchical facial data modeling for visual expression synthesis
Journal of Visualization, 2003This paper presents a new method for modeling of a personalized 3D face model that has a hierarchical structure of the skin, muscle, and skull for realistic expression synthesis. We start from an accurate facial mesh reconstructed from the individual face measurements. The deformable skin model has a multi-layer structure to approximate different types

A data-driven approach for facial expression synthesis in video
2012 IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, 2012This paper presents a method to synthesize a realistic facial animation of a target person, driven by a facial performance video of another person. Different from traditional facial animation approaches, our system takes advantage of an existing facial performance database of the target person, and generates the final video by retrieving frames from ...

Synthesis of facial expressions using a 3D anatomical model
7th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision, 2002. ICARCV 2002., 2004In this paper we propose an individualized 3D facial model constructed from the anatomical perspective for realistic facial expression synthesis. Our model incorporates a physically-based approximation to facial skin tissue, a set of anatomically-motivated facial muscle actuators and underlying skull structure. The skin is modeled as a multi-layer mass-
