摘要
针对现有人脸表情合成中真实性欠佳或速度较慢的问题,提出了一种鲁棒的人脸表情合成方法。通过改进的主动外观模型(AAM)方法,对输入图像中人脸上的指定特征点进行自动检测跟踪,并以特征点为基础对人脸进行Delaunay三角分割、对齐和变形,在不同的人脸中建立有效的对应关系。通过图形计算器(GPU),对匹配的输入人脸和目标人脸进行加权渲染,得到新的人脸表情.为了提高人脸表情合成质量,采用色彩调整和边界过渡的操作,降低了不同人脸融合时带来的差异性.实验结果表明,与传统方法相比,该算法在计算速度上有较大的提高,在渲染效果上更加真实.
A robust human expression synthesis method was proposed to resolve the problem that the current human expression methods are either too slow or non-photorealistic. Certain feature points on human faces from input images were automatically tracked by using an improved active appearance model (AAM). Then the human face was Delaunay triangulated, aligned and warped by these points, and effective relationships between different human faces were described. Graphics processing unit (GPU) helped weighted rendering of the input face and the target one, thus resulting in a synthesized new facial expression. Automatic color adjustment and edge fusion were applied to enhance the rendering effect in order to reduce the dissimilarity between different faces. Experimental results showed that the method greatly improves the calculation speed and makes the results more photorealistic compared with the traditional methods.
