Previous efforts at facial expression recognition have been based on the Facial Action Coding System (FACS), a representation developed in order to allow human psychologists to co...
Facial expressions and speech are means to convey information. They can be used to reinforce speech or even complementary to speech. The main goal of our research is to investigate...
Abstract. Rendering realistic faces and facial expressions requires good models for the reflectance of skin and the motion of the face. We describe a system for modeling, animating...

If a moving image is more expressive than words or than a still image, then an animated facial expression can explain more in depth the feelings of a virtual character. Facial ani...
Human face-to-face conversation is an ideal model for human-computer dialogue. One of the major features of face-to-face communication is its multiplicity of communication channel...
We present new techniques for creating photorealistic textured 3D facial models from photographs of a human subject, and for creating smooth transitions between different facial e...

In this paper, we applied local warping techniques to construct a frame work of image-based morphing for facial expressions animation with low complexity. From the experience we o...
The importance of faces in human interaction explains the desire for synthetic faces as a communication vehicle in computer graphics. Unfortunately, animating a face is a very com...
Facial expression of emotion (or "facial affect") is rapidly becoming an area of intense interest in the computer science and interaction design communities. Ironically,...

In this paper we present a parametric model for facial animation and a method for adapting it to a specific person. Every facial expression can be described as a contraction or r...
