This article discusses how to realize the process of converting the user's face into an avatar's face by preserving the expression. The objective of this work is to make this process reflect the user's subjective view about correspondence between the facial images of the user and the avatar. In this article, it is proposed to adapt the process to the user's view through interactions with the user. This is realized by an example-based approach, in which the correspondence between the facial images of the user and the avatar is estimated from its examples obtained from the interactions with the user. The process increasingly reflects the user's view with the number of examples.
