Assigned paper
- The Sentence:
This paper presents an intuitive and easy-to-use system for interactively posing 3D facial expressions by inferring the base parameter values for the facial model. (Synthesized from abstract sentence 1) - The Problem:
It is difficult to construct an interactive and easy-to-use system that allows a naive user to model realistic facial expressions quickly and easily as these models have thousands of degrees of freedom while user inputs remain limited in content. - Key Idea:
A system can infer the values of a parameter set by inferring the parameters of the animated model using a large database of prior model parameters which can supplement the user input configurations. - What it lets you do:a. Key Example:
The system allows a variety of users to model and edit 3D facial expressions in real-time.b. Can be used for: Synthesizing natural facial expressions, creating facial animations for avatars in instant communication programs, rapid prototyping of facial expressions, expression transfer between characters, and expression posing from photos.
