Xuefeng Zhang · Jisuanji gongcheng · 2000
An interactive facial modeling and animation tool are introduced here. User can construct the photo realistic 3D model of the human head from the front and side photos of a specific person, generate facial expressions for the model and realize continuous and realistic transition between expressions and simple animations. The relevant techniques, including polygonal representation for surface, deformation from a general face model to a specific model, spring mesh, muscle based animation model, global texture mapping and expression extraction techniques are detailed.
