摘要: Techniques are disclosed for performing avatar-based video encoding. In some embodiments, a video recording of an individual may be encoded utilizing an avatar that is driven by the facial expression(s) of the individual. In some such cases, the resultant avatar animation may accurately mimic facial expression(s) of the recorded individual. Some embodiments can be used, for example, in video sharing via social media and networking websites. Some embodiments can be used, for example, in video-based communications (e.g., peer-to-peer video calls; videoconferencing). In some instances, use to the disclosed techniques may help to reduce communications bandwidth use, preserve the individual's anonymity, and/or provide enhanced entertainment value (e.g., amusement) for the individual, for example.

摘要: A video communication system that replaces actual live images of the participating users with animated avatars. A method may include initiating communication between a first user device and a remote user device; receiving selection of a new avatar to represent a user of the first user device; identifying a new avatar file for the new avatar in an avatar database associated with the first user device; determining that the new avatar file is not present in a remote avatar database associated with the remote user device; and transmitting the new avatar file to the remote avatar database in response to determining that the new avatar file is not present in the remote avatar database.

摘要: Avatars are animated using predetermined avatar images that are selected based on facial features of a user extracted from video of the user. A user's facial features are tracked in a live video, facial feature parameters are determined from the tracked features, and avatar images are selected based on the facial feature parameters. The selected images are then displayed are sent to another device for display. Selecting and displaying different avatar images as a user's facial movements change animates the avatar. An avatar image can be selected from a series of avatar images representing a particular facial movement, such as blinking. An avatar image can also be generated from multiple avatar feature images selected from multiple avatar feature image series associated with different regions of a user's face (eyes, mouth, nose, eyebrows), which allows different regions of the avatar to be animated independently.

摘要: A video communication system that replaces actual live images of the participating users with animated avatars. The system allows generation, rendering and animation of a two-dimensional (2-D) avatar of a user's face. The 2-D avatar represents a user's basic face shape and key facial characteristics, including, but not limited to, position and shape of the eyes, nose, mouth, and face contour. The system further allows adaptive rendering for displaying allow different scales of the 2-D avatar to be displayed on associated different sized displays of user devices.

摘要: In response to a gestural command, a video currently being watched can be identified by extracting at least one decoded frame from a television transmission. The frame can be transmitted to a separate mobile device for requesting an image search and for receiving the search results. The search results can be used to obtain more information. The user's social networking friends can also be contacted to obtain more information about the clip.

摘要: Systems and methods may provide for detecting a condition with respect to one or more frames of a video signal associated with a set of facial motion data and modifying, in response to the condition, the set of facial motion data to indicate that the one or more frames lack facial motion data. Additionally, an avatar animation may be initiated based on the modified set of facial motion data. In one example, the condition is one or more of a buffer overflow condition and a tracking failure condition.
