چکیده
delivered by EUROGRAPHICS D L IGITAL IBRARY www.eg.org diglib.eg.org Abstract In this work we elaborate on a novel image-based system for creating video-realistic eye animations to arbitrary spoken output. These animations are useful to give a face to multimedia applications such as virtual operators in dialog systems. Our eye animation system consists of two parts: eye control unit and rendering engine. The designed eye control unit is based on the statistical analysis of recorded human subjects. We design a new model, which fully automatically couples eye blinks and movements with phonetic as well as prosodic information extracted from spoken language. Subjective tests showed that participants are not able to distinguish between real eye motions and our animations, which has not been achieved before.

Realistic Avatar Eye and Head Animation Using a Neurobiological Model of Visual Attention
We describe a neurobiological model of visual attention and eye/head movements in primates, and its application to the automatic animation of a realistic virtual human head watching an unconstrained variety of visual inputs. The bottom-up (image-based) attention model is based on the known neurophysiology of visual processing along the occipito-parietal pathway of the primate brain, while the e...
متن کاملDialog-driven video-realistic image-based eye animation
Talking-heads are useful to give a face to multimedia applications such as virtual operators or news readers in dialog systems. However, their great commercial potentials can only become true, if talking-heads are indistinguishable from real recorded videos and at the same time correctly model the human-like behavior. For this, mouth as well as nonverbal behaviors such as head movements, facial...
متن کاملModel-Based Eye Detection and Animation
In this thesis we present a system to extract the eye motion from a video stream containing a human face and applying this eye motion into a virtual character. By the notation eye motion estimation, we mean the information which describes the location of the eyes in each frame of the video stream. Applying this eye motion estimation into a virtual character, we achieve that the virtual face mov...
متن کاملClassification and Volume Morphing for Performance-driven Facial Animation
We present a new facial animation approach that produces a wide variety of realistic facial expressions with advantages over existing geometry deformation and morphing methods for performance-driven animation systems. These systems sense and reconstruct a real person's facial expressions from an image sequence. The novelty of our approach is to sense and animate both textures and geometry using...
متن کاملSpeech and Expression Driven Animation of a Video-Realistic Appearance Based Hierarchical Facial Model
We describe a new facial animation system based on a hierarchy of morphable sub-facial appearance models. The innovation in our approach is that through the hierarchical model, parametric control is available for the animation of multiple sub-facial areas. We animate these areas automatically both from speech to produce lip-synching, and natural pauses and hesitations and using specific tempora...
