Face tracking for expressions simulations
Peter Gejguš, Martin Šperka · 2003
This paper presents a work that is part of the system for creation of real-faced avatar for emphatic communication. We have made a new extension of the KL T (Kanade-Lucas-Tomasi) face tracker. which is robust against loss of the tracked points. Stochastic skin-color model is used for a face segmentation in the frames contained in a video sequence. Ellipse-fitting is used for selection of the face candidates because of the elliptical face shape. The proposed method achieved real-time performance The results seem very promising.
