Abstract

We propose a dynamic and interactive caricaturing system. In our system, the utilization of in-between method realizes the generation mechanism from the caricaturist to the gallery, and on the contrary, the utilization of eye-camera vision realizes the feedback mechanism from the gallery to the caricaturist. The gallery mounts an eye-camera on the head, and the system reflects visual characteristics of the gallery directly onto the works of facial caricature. After observing the image of the model and analyzing the gaze direction and distribution, the system deforms some of the characteristic and impressive facial parts more strongly than other non-impressive facial parts, and generates the caricature which is suited especially for the gallery. In this paper, we demonstrate experimentally the effectiveness of this method to integrate these kinds of viewpoints
