    摘要: Detecting facial landmarks in a face detected in an image may be performed by first cropping a face rectangle region of the detected face in the image and generating an integral image based at least in part on the face rectangle region. Next, a cascade classifier may be executed for each facial landmark of the face rectangle region to produce one response image for each facial landmark based at least in part on the integral image. A plurality of Active Shape Model (ASM) initializations may be set up. ASM searching may be performed for each of the ASM initializations based at least in part on the response images, each ASM search resulting in a search result having a cost. Finally, a search result of the ASM searches having a lowest cost function may be selected, the selected search result indicating locations of the facial landmarks in the image.

    摘要: Methods, apparatuses, and articles associated with facial tracking and recognition are disclosed. In embodiments, facial images may be detected in video or still images and tracked. After normalization of the facial images, feature data may be extracted from selected regions of the faces to compare to associated feature data in known faces. The selected regions may be determined using a boosting machine learning processes over a set of known images. After extraction, individual two-class comparisons may be performed between corresponding feature data from regions on the tested facial images and from the known facial image. The individual two-class classifications may then be combined to determine a similarity score for the tested face and the known face. If the similarity score exceeds a threshold, an identification of the known face may be output or otherwise used. Additionally, tracking with voting may be performed on faces detected in video. After a threshold of votes is reached, a given tracked face may be associated with a known face.

    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: Systems, devices and methods are described including recovering camera parameters and sparse key points for multiple 2D facial images and applying a multi-view stereo process to generate a dense avatar mesh using the camera parameters and sparse key points. The dense avatar mesh may then be used to generate a 3D face model and multi-view texture synthesis may be applied to generate a texture image for the 3D face model.
