    摘要: A head motion tracking method for three-dimensional facial model animation, the head motion tracking method includes acquiring initial facial motion to be fit to an image of a three-dimensional model from an image inputted by a video camera; creating a silhouette of the three-dimensional model and projecting the silhouette; matching the silhouette created from the three-dimensional model with a silhouette acquired by a statistical feature point tracking scheme; and obtaining a motion parameter for the image of the three-dimensional model through motion correction using a texture to perform three-dimensional head motion tracking. In accordance with the present invention, natural three-dimensional facial model animation based on a real image acquired with a video camera can be performed automatically, thereby reducing time and cost.

    摘要: A multi-view camera color calibration method using a color checker chart, includes measuring a brightness range of photographic data being input from multiple cameras; photographing the color checker chart for each camera and adjusting a brightness value of the chart to be within the brightness range of an input image of each camera; correcting brightness of each camera by using a gray patch of the checker chart; modeling a relationship between a color value of the checker chart obtained by each camera and a standard color value provided by the color checker chart; and correcting differences in color as a result of the modeling, to calibrate colors among the multiple cameras. Therefore, the three-dimensional information of a moving object for photography which cannot be photographed by moving only one camera is capable of being restored.

    摘要: Disclosed is a technology for measuring a degree of accuracy of a 3D graphical model by using images. The technology includes creating camera parameters by calculating a position, a direction, and intrinsic parameters of a camera through a calibration of the camera to a reference image which is photographed for reference during creation of the 3D graphical model of an actually existing object; calculating a position and a direction of the 3D graphical model based on a corresponding relation between the reference image and 3D graphical model data obtained by digitizing the actually existing object; creating a synthesized image by rendering the 3D graphical model using the camera parameters; extracting characteristics of the reference image and the synthesized image; and calculating distance and length errors based on a corresponding relation between the extracted characteristics of the two images.

    摘要: A method for creating a 3D face model by using multi-view image information, includes: creating a mesh structure for expressing an appearance of a 3D face model by using a first multi-view image obtained by capturing an expressionless face of a performer; and locating joints of a hierarchical structure in the mesh structure, by using a second multi-view image obtained by capturing an expression performance of the performer. Further, the method includes creating a 3D face model that is animated to enable reproduction of a natural expression of the performer, by setting dependency between the joints and the mesh structure.
