Breidt, MartinWallraven, ChristianCunningham, Douglas W.Buelthoff, Heinrich H.2015-11-122015-11-1220031017-4656https://doi.org/10.2312/egp.20031009We present ongoing work on the development of new methods for highly realistic facial animation. One of the main contributions is the use of real-world, high-precision data for both the timing of the animation and the deformation of the face geometry. For animation, a set of morph shapes acquired through a 3D scanner is linearly morphed according to timing extracted from point tracking data recorded with an optical motion capture system.
