Abstract

In this demo, we propose the puppetry eHeritage, including a creator module and a manipulator module, to preserve the precious traditional heritage Chinese shadow puppetry. The creator module accepts a frontal face image and a profile face image of the user as input, and automatically generates the corresponding puppet, which looks like the original person and meanwhile preserves typical characteristics of traditional Chinese shadow puppetry. The manipulator module can accept the script provided by the user as input and automatically generate the motion sequences. For better visual effects, we propose the sparsity optimization over simplexes formulation.
