1.6.2 Vector Muscle

A very successful muscle model was proposed by Waters [30]. A delineated defor-

mation ﬁeld models the action of muscles upon skin. A muscle deﬁnition includes

the vector ﬁeld direction, an origin, and an insertion point (the left panel of Fig. 1.3).

The ﬁeld extent is deﬁned by cosine functions and falls off factors that produce a

cone shape when visualized as a height ﬁeld. Waters also m odels the mouth sphinc-

ter muscles as a simpliﬁed parametric ellipsoid. The sphincter muscle contracts

around the center of the ellipsoid and is primarily responsible for the deformation

of the mouth region. Waters animates human emotions such as anger, fear, surprise,

disgust, joy, and happiness using vector-based linear and orbicularis oris muscles

utilizing the FACS. The right panel of Figure 1.3 shows the Water s’ muscles embed-

ded in a facial mesh.

The positioning of vector muscles into anatomically correct positions can be a

daunting task. The process involves manual trial and error with no guarantee of

efﬁcient or optimal placement. Incorrect placement results in unnatural o r undesir-

able animation of the mesh. Nevertheless, the vector muscle model is widely used

because of its compact representation and independence of the facial mesh struc-

ture. An example of vector muscles is seen in Billy, the baby in the movie Tin Toy,

who has 47 Waters’ m uscles on his face.

1.6.3 Layered Spring Mesh Muscles

Terzopoulos and Waters [39] proposed a facial model that models detailed anatomi-

cal structure and dynamics of the human face. Their three layers of deformable mesh

correspond to skin, fatty tissue, and muscle tied to bone. Elastic spring elements

panel shows muscle placement in Waters’s work [30].

connect each mesh node and each layer. Muscle forces propagate through the mesh

systems to create animation. This model is faithful to facial anatomy. Simulating

volumetric deformation s with three-dime nsional lattices, however, requ ires exten-

sive computation. A simpliﬁed mesh system reduces the computation time while

still maintaining similar quality [40].

Lee et al. [41,42] present face models composed of physics-based synthetic skin

and muscle layers b ased on earlier work [39]. The face model consists of three com-

ponents: a biological tissue layer with nonlinear deformation properties, a muscle

layer knit together under the skin, and an impenetrable skull structure beneath the

muscle layer. The synthetic tissue is modeled as triangular prism elements that are

divided into the epidermal surface, the fascia surface, and the skull surface. Spring

elements connecting the epidermal and fascia layers simulate skin elasticity. Spring

elements that affect muscle forces connect the fascia and skull layers. The model

achieves b etter ﬁdelity. Tremendous computation is required, however, and exten-

sive tuning is needed to model a speciﬁc face or characteristic.

1.7 3D Face Modeling

An important problem in facial animation is to model a speciﬁc person, i.e., mod-

eling the 3D geometry o f an individual face. A range scanner, digitizer probe, or

stereo disparity can measure three-dimensional coordinates. The models obtained

by those processes are often poorly suited for facial animation. Information about

the facial structures is missing; measurement noise produces distracting artifacts;

and model vertices are poorly distributed. Also, many measurement methods pro-

duce incomplete models, lacking hair, ears, eyes, etc. Therefore, post-processing on

the measured data is often necessary.

1.7.1 Person-Speciﬁc Model Creation

An approach to person-speciﬁc modeling is to painstakingly prepare a generic

animation mesh with all the necessary structure and animation information. This

generic model is ﬁtted or deformed to a measured geometric mesh of a speciﬁc

person to create a personalized animation model. The geometric ﬁt also facilitates

the transfer of texture if it is captured with the measured mesh. If the generic model

has fewer polygons than the measured mesh, deformation is implicit in the ﬁtting

process.

Person-speciﬁc modeling and ﬁtting processes use various approaches such as

scattered data interpolations [5, 43, 44] and projections onto the cylindrical coor-

dinates incorporated with a positive Laplacian ﬁeld function [42]. Some methods

attempt an automated ﬁtting process, but most require manual interventions.

Radial basis functions are capable of closely approximated or interpolated

smooth hypersurfaces [45] such as human facial shapes. Some approaches morph

a generic mesh into speciﬁc shapes with scattered data interpolation techniques

based on radial basis functions. The advantages of this approach are as follows.

First, the morph does not require equal numbers of nodes in the involved meshes

since missing points are interpolated [43]. Second, mathematical support ensures

that a morphed mesh approaches the target mesh if appropriate correspondences are

selected [45, 46].

A typical process of 3D volume morphing is as follows. First, biologically

meaningful landmark points are manually selected around the eyes, nose, lips, and

perimeters of both face models. Second, the landmark points deﬁne the coefﬁcients

of the kernel of the radial basis function u sed to morph the volume. Finally, points

in the generic mesh are interpolated using the coefﬁcients computed from the land-

mark points. The success of the morphing depends strongly on the selection of the

landmark points [27,43].

Instead of morphing a face model, a morphable model exploits a pre-constructed

set of face databases to create a person-speciﬁc model [47]. First, a scanning pro-

cess collects a large number of faces to compile a database. This example 3D

face models spans the space of any possible human faces in terms of geometry

and texture. New faces and expressions can be represented as a linear combina-

tion of the examples. Typically, an image of a new person is provided to the sys-

tem; then the system outputs a 3D model of the person that closely matches the

image.

1.7.2 Anthropometry

The generation of individual models using anthropometry

attempts to produce

facial variations where absolute appearance is not important. Kuo et al. [48] pro-

poses a method to synthesize a lateral face from one 2D gray-level image of a frontal

face. A database is ﬁrst constructed, containing facial parameters measured accord-

ing to anthropomorphic deﬁnitions. This d atabase serves as priori knowledge. The

lateral facial parameters are estimated from frontal facial parameters by using min-

imum mean square error (MMSE) estimation rules applied to the database. Speciﬁ-

cally, the depth of one lateral facial parameter is d etermined by the linear combina-

tion of several frontal facial parameters. The 3D generic facial model is then adapted

according to both the frontal plane coordinates extracted from the image and their

estimated depths. Finally, the lateral face is synthesized from the feature data and

texture-mapped.

DeCarlo et al. [49] construct various facial models purely based on anthropom-

etry without assistance from images. This system constructs a new face model in

two steps. The ﬁrst step generates a random set of measurements that character-

ize the face. The form and values of these measurements are computed accord-

ing to face anthropometry (Fig. 1.4). The second step constructs the best surface

Fig. 1.5 Real-time tracking is performed without markups on the face using Eyematic Inc. ’s face

tracking system. Real-time animation of the synthesized avatar is achieved based on the 11 tracked

features. Here (a) shows the initial tracking of the face features, (b) shows features are tracked

in real time while the subject is moving, and (c) shows an avatar that mimics the behavior of the

subject.

1.8.1 Snakes and Markings

Snakes, or deformable minimum-energy curves, are used to track intentionally

marked facial features [52] . The recognition of facial featur es with snakes is pri-

marily based on color samples and edge detection. Many systems couple tracked

snakes to underlying muscles mechanisms to drive facial animation [39, 53–56].

Muscle contraction parameters are estimated from the tracked facial displacements

in video sequences.

Tracking errors accumulate over long image sequences. Consequently, a snake

may lose the contour it is attempting to track. In [57], tracking from frame to frame

is done for the features that are relatively easy to track. A relia bility test enables a

reinitialization of a snake when error accumulations occu r.

1.8.2 Optical Flow Tracking

Colored markers painted on the face or lips [9,58–64] are extensively used to aid in

tracking facial expressions or recognizing speech from video sequences. However,

markings on the face are intrusive. Also, reliance on markings restricts the scope of

acquired geom etric infor mation to the marked features. Optical ﬂow [65] and spatio-

temporal normalized correlation measurements [66] perform natural feature track-

ing and therefore obviate the n eed for intentional markings on the face [19,67]. Chai

et al. [68] propose a data-driven technique to translate noisy, low-quality 2D track-

ing signals from video to high-quality 3D facial animations based on a preprocessed

facial motion d atabase. One limitation of this approach is that a p reprocessed facial

motion database is required, and its performance may depend on the match between

prerecorded persons in the database and target face models. Zhang et al. [69] pro-

pose a space-time stereo tracking algorithm to build 3D face models from v ideo
