Face tracking for model‐based coding and face animation
Jörgen Ahlberg, Robert Forchheimer · International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology · 2003
Abstract We present a face and facial feature tracking system able to extract animation parameters describing the motion and articulation of a human face in real‐time on consumer hardware. The system is based on a statistical model of face appearance and a search algorithm for adapting the model to an image. Speed and robustness is discussed, and the system evaluated in terms of accuracy. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
