We present a novel approach to producing facial expression animations for new models.
Instead of creating new facial animations from scratch for each new model created, we take …

We present a novel approach to creating deformations of polygonal models using Radial
Basis Functions (RBFs) to produce localized real-time deformations. Radial Basis Functions …

Virtual reality is rapidly evolving into a pragmatically usable technology for mental health
(MH) applications. As the underlying enabling technologies continue to evolve and allow us …

In this thesis we consider embodied agents which are represented by an animated talking
head. For such embodied agents to be believable, the minds of agents should not be …

The use of 3D data in face image processing applications has received considerable
attention during the last few years. A major issue for the implementation of 3D face …

This paper presents a novel multi-layer deformation (MLD) method for reconstructing
animatable, anatomy-based human facial models with minimal manual intervention. Our …

This paper describes an automatic system for 3D face modeling using frontal and profile
images taken by an ordinary digital camera. The system consists of four subsystems …

This paper presents a new anthropometrics-based method for generating realistic,
controllable face models. Our method establishes an intuitive and efficient interface to …

In this paper, we compare three structured lighting techniques (Gray Code, Gray Code Shift
and Stripe Boundary) using mono or stereo camera systems to assess 3D reconstruction for …

In its quest for more reliability and higher recognition rates the face recognition community
has been focusing more and more on 3D based recognition. Depth information adds …
