The paper aims at creating an automated portrait generation system with realism or exaggerator and cartoon on the front image through a common personal computer.Active Appearance Model is a statistic model,it can be widely used in facial features extraction.But it still does not use all the information available,such as the skin color information,which has been widely used in face detection and preprocessing of digital images.Making full use of the chromatic information of skin will greatly reduce the scale of AAM searching,Based on this improved AAM,we can accurately locate features of image and design an automated portrait generation system.This approach has been proved correct by experiments with hundreds of images and the results are almost the same as those expected.The experiment results show that the fast approach is very efficient in creating portrait generation and it will be widely used in Cartoon Wizard,multimedia amusement,game and network communicational software and so on.
