We present some preliminary results of our work on model-based compression of video sequences of a person’s face, in the context of teleconferencing and videophone applications. The emphasis is on the difficult and challenging problem of analysis. Algorithms are presented for extracting and tracking key feature points on the face, and for estimating the global and local motion of the head/face.
