Abstract :
We present recent developments in the context of face cloning using view based techniques, permitted by the cooperation between analysis and synthesis algorithms. We detail efficient 3D face modelling techniques that are capable of reproducing convincing facial expressions, and we show how such realistic face models are suitable for a view based analysis framework, to recover both the global pose and the facial expressions of a human performer, without any markers or makeup
