Abstract
Techniques for creating facial animation using a face mesh are provided. The techniques include determining a face mesh sequence. A portion of the face mesh sequence is then fitted to an image of the face. For example, a first frame of the face mesh sequence is fitted to the image. The face image is then projected onto the portion of the face mesh based on the fitting. Also, a hair model may be generated and fitted onto the face mesh sequence. Additionally, changes in color differences between sequences of the face mesh may be computed. The face mesh sequence is then played to create a facial animation sequence for the face image. The color differences that were created may also be added to the sequences as they are being played. Accordingly, the playing of the face mesh sequence creates a realistic facial animation of the image of the face.
