Generating realistic facial animation for CG characters and digital doubles is one of the
hardest tasks in animation. A typical production workflow involves capturing the performance …

3D facial animation is often produced by manipulating facial deformation models (or rigs),
that are traditionally parameterized by expression controls. A key component that is usually …

Facial retargeting is a widely used technique in the game and film industries that replicates
the expressions of a source facial model onto a target model. Existing methods for facial …

In the era of digital animation, the quest to produce lifelike facial animations for virtual
characters has led to the development of various retargeting methods. While the retargeting …

Blendshape based animation is a technique commonly used to animate the face. To
generate realistic animation for different faces, creating appropriate blendshapes for each …

Compared to facial expression recognition, expression synthesis requires a very high-
dimensional mapping. This problem exacerbates with increasing image sizes and limits …

Inspired by kernel methods that have been used extensively in achieving efficient facial
animation retargeting, this paper presents a solution to retargeting facial animation in virtual …

Blendshape technique is an effective tool in the computer facial animation. Every character
requires its own unique blendshapes to cover numerous facial expressions in the Visual …

Before cosmetic surgery procedures, the patients are commonly involved in the consultation
process using interviews and reference images. The reference images typically consist of …

Animating digital characters has an important role in computer assisted experiences, from
video games to movies to interactive robotics. A critical challenge in the field is to generate …
