Rigid head motion is a gesture that conveys important nonverbal information in human
communication, and hence it needs to be appropriately modeled and included in realistic …

Synthesizing expressive facial animation is a very challenging topic within the graphics
community. In this paper, we present an expressive facial animation synthesis system …

Natural head motion is important to realistic facial animation and engaging human–
computer interactions. In this paper, we present a novel data‐driven approach to synthesize …

Since the pioneering work of Frederic I. Parke [1] in 1972, significant research efforts have
been attempted to generate realistic facial modeling and animation. The most ambitious …

Size comparison animations have proven to be an effective method for conveying
information about the relative sizes of objects, making it an essential tool for various …

We present a learning-based approach for generating 3D facial animations with the motion
style of a specific subject from arbitrary audio inputs. The subject style is learned from a …

In this paper, a data-driven audio-based head motion synthesis technique is presented for
avatar-based telepresence systems. First, head motion of a human subject speaking a …

Mapping the motion of an actor's face to a virtual model is a difficult but important problem,
especially as fully animated characters are becoming more common in games and movies …

While speech animation fundamentally consists of a sequence of phonemes over time,
sophisticated animation requires smooth interpolation and co-articulation effects, where the …
