An Active Model for Facial Feature Tracking

نویسنده

  • Jörgen Ahlberg
چکیده

We present a system for finding and tracking a face and extract global and local animation parameters from a video sequence. The system uses an initial colour processing step for finding a rough estimate of the position, size, and inplane rotation of the face, followed by a refinement step drived by an active model. The latter step refines the previous estimate, and also extracts local animation parameters. The system is able to track the face and some facial features in near real-time, and can compress the result to a bitstream compliant to MPEG-4 face and body animation.

Analysis and Synthesis of Facial Expressions by Feature-Points Tracking and Deformable Model

Face expression recognition is useful for designing new interactive devices offering the possibility of new ways for human to interact with computer systems. In this paper we develop a facial expressions analysis and synthesis system. The analysis part of the system is based on the facial features extracted from facial feature points (FFP) in frontal image sequences. Selected facial feature poi...

Research on Theory and Method for Facial Expression Recognition Sys- tem Based on Dynamic Image Sequence

We studied the tracking theory based on Candide3 facial model and according to the research we further developed the tracking process. Based on the research of facial tracking, we put forward a dynamic feature extraction method based on six parameters of facial model. We introduced the active appearance model algorithm to locate and track feature points of facial expression, then studied the tr...

Tracking of Facial Feature Points by Combining Singular Tracking Results with a 3D Active Shape Model

Accurate 3D tracking of facial feature points from one monocular video sequence is appealing for many applications in human-machine interaction. In this work facial feature points are tracked with a Kanade-LucasTomasi (KLT) feature tracker and the tracking results are linked with a 3D Active Shape Model (ASM). Thus, the efficient Gauss-Newton method is not solving for the shift of each facial f...
