Abstract:
An example apparatus is disclosed herein that includes a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor is to execute instructions to: select a gesture from a database, the gesture including a sequence of poses; translate the selected gesture into an animated avatar performing the selected gesture for display at a display device; display a prompt for the user to perform the selected gesture performed by the animated avatar; capture an image of the user performing the selected gesture; and perform a comparison between a gesture performed by the user in the captured image and the selected gesture to determine whether there is a match between the gesture performed by the user and the selected gesture.

Abstract:
Examples of systems and methods for transmitting facial motion data and animating an avatar are generally described herein. A system may include an image capture device to capture a series of images of a face, a facial recognition module to compute facial motion data for each of the images in the series of images, and a communication module to transmit the facial motion data to an animation device, wherein the animation device is to use the facial motion data to animate an avatar on the animation device.

Abstract:
Systems and methods may provide for identifying one or more facial expressions of a subject in a video signal and generating avatar animation data based on the one or more facial expressions. Additionally, the avatar animation data may be incorporated into an audio file associated with the video signal. In one example, the audio file is sent to a remote client device via a messaging application. Systems and methods may also facilitate the generation of avatar icons and doll animations that mimic the actual facial features and/or expressions of specific individuals.
Abstract:
A mechanism is described for facilitating efficient free in-plane rotation landmark tracking of images on computing devices according to one embodiment. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting a first frame having a first image and a second frame having a second image, where the second image is rotated to a position away from the first image. The method may further include assigning a first parameter line and a second parameter line to the second image based on landmark positions associated with the first and second images, detecting a rotation angle between the first parameter line and the second parameter line, and rotating the second image back and forth within a distance associated with the rotation angle to verify positions of the first and second images.
Abstract:
Disclosed in some examples are various modifications to the shape regression technique for use in real-time applications, and methods, systems, and machine readable mediums which utilize the resulting facial landmark tracking methods.
Abstract:
Various embodiments of this disclosure may describe apparatuses, methods, and systems including an encoding engine to encode and/or compress one or more objects of interest within individual image frames with higher bit densities than the bit density employed to encode and/or compress their background. The image processing system may further include a context engine to identify a region of interest including at least a part of the one or more objects of interest, and scale the region of interest within individual image frames to emphasize the objects of interest. Other embodiments may also be disclosed or claimed.
Abstract:
Techniques for three-dimensional (3D) image editing are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise a processor circuit and a 3D graphics management module, and the 3D graphics management module may be operable by the processor circuit to determine modification information for a first sub-image in a 3D image comprising the first sub-image and a second sub-image, modify the first sub-image based on the modification information for the first sub-image, determine modification information for the second sub-image based on the modification information for the first sub-image, and modify the second sub-image based on the modification information for the second sub-image. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
