Multi-pose and expression face synthesis method based on tensor representation
Weidong Zhao · Journal of Computer Applications · 2012
To synthesize facial pose and expression images simultaneously from one image,a tensor-based subspace projection method for synthesizing multi-pose and expression face images was proposed.Firstly,the forth order texture tensor and shape tensor were created from the feature annotated images respectively.Then a tucker tensor decomposition technique was applied to build projection subspaces(person,expression,pose and feature subspaces).Core tensors,expressions,poses and feature subspaces were organized into a new tensor properly which was used for synthesizing new facial poses and expressions.The proposed method took full advantage of the intrinsic relationship among the facial affected various factors.The experimental results show that the proposed method can synthesize different facial expressions with kinds of poses of the face using a known facial expression and pose image.
