Computer Facial Animation: A Review

Computer Facial Animation: A Survey

A Solution for Computer Facial Animation

A total solution for computer facial animation is proposed. First, a well-de ned 3D head model is deformed according to several photographs with di erent views, where the 3D head model exhibits good animation features. After pose recovery, B ezier curves are used to depict the subtle contours on a face. Moreover, elastic deformation can be applied to adjust the locations of global features. We ...

Movement Realism in Computer Facial Animation

Static and dynamic realism are both important in computer facial animation. However, for embodied conversational agents in interfaces, and for agents or avatars in virtual environments, movement and behaviour are more important than photorealism. In this paper we summarise our work on two systems that feature aspects of this dynamic realism: coarticulation for visual speech and facial tissue de...

Within a Facial Animation System

This paper presents the Dynamic Emotion Representation (DER), and demonstrates how an instance of this model can be integrated into a facial animation system. The DER 15 model has been implemented to enable users to create their own emotion representation. Developers can select which emotions they include and how these interact. The instance 17 of the DER model described in this paper is compos...

Computer Animation: Algorithms and Techniques - A Historical Review

Computer animation has a history as long as computer graphics. It’s old enough to have interesting divisions, blind alleys, and new trends. It’s young enough for the new entrants to have the opportunity to meet most of the people who started the field.This paper reviews the historical development of computer animation noting the trends and suggesting the future.
