The computer graphics and vision communities have dedicated long standing efforts in
building computerized tools for reconstructing, tracking, and analyzing human faces based …

While current monocular 3D face reconstruction methods can recover fine geometric details,
they suffer several limitations. Some methods produce faces that cannot be realistically …

Embodiments relate to a method for real-time facial anima tion, and a processing device for
real-time facial animation. The method includes providing a dynamic expression model …

Abstract “Blendshapes”, a simple linear model of facial expression, is the prevalent
approach to realistic facial animation. It has driven animated characters in Hollywood films …

We present a complete pipeline for creating fully rigged, personalized 3D facial avatars from
hand-held video. Our system faithfully recovers facial expression dynamics of the user by …

We introduce a real-time and calibration-free facial performance capture framework based
on a sensor with video and depth input. In this framework, we develop an adaptive PCA …

We present a new algorithm for realtime face tracking on commodity RGB-D sensing
devices. Our method requires no user-specific training or calibration, or any other form of …

The dynamic simulation of mechanical effects has a long history in computer graphics. The
classical methods in this field discretize Newton's second law in a variety of Lagrangian or …

We present a complete integrated system for live facial puppetry that enables high-
resolution real-time facial expression tracking with transfer to another person's face. The …

This paper introduces a data-driven representation and modeling technique for simulating
non-linear heterogeneous soft tissue. It simplifies the construction of convincing deformable …
