Abstract

This paper presents an automatic FDP (Facial Definition Parameters) and FAP (Facial Animation Parameters) generation method from an image sequence that captures a frontal face. The proposed method is based on facial feature tracking without markers on a face. We present an efficient method to extract 2D facial features and to generate the FDP by applying 2D features to a generic face model. We also propose a template matching based FAP generation method. The advantage of this approach is that it can be easily applied to single camera MPEG-4 SNHC encoding systems
