Facial caricaturing system PICASSO with emotional motion deformation

摘要

Discusses how motion features of emotional expression processes could enforce facial caricaturing. A still caricature is not enough to express individual character. It was experimentally known that there are various kinds of motion features in the laughing processes. We implemented a system to deform the motion features caused by emotional expression for enforcing facial caricaturing. We propose an idea to extend the extraction mechanism of the individuality features to the time-axis by means of the in-betweening method. It is clarified that individual facial features can be enforced by emotional motion deformation in caricaturing.
