Abstract

We present a fast algorithm for individual face modeling and animation. The method mainly has four steps. Firstly, feature points and 2D information are extracted from frontal face by a RealBoost-Gabor ASM method. Then, we propose a novel searching approach based on geometrical measurement, and select the similar generic model from database. We can calculate the lateral parameters and estimate the depth information of facial feature points. And, the corresponding generic model is deformed and texture is remapped to generate the individual face. Finally, we implement Radial Basis Functions (RBF) deformation to retarget the generic animation and generate individual facial animation.
