High speed markerless monocular expression cloning

Expression cloning is essential to motion capture. Currently, most methods to realize the idea require expensive equipment such as Cyberware and lot of manual work. This paper introduces a high speed monocular markerless expression cloning system. In Motion capture module, feature points in actor´s face are captured and tracked with computer vision methods. Tracking result of 16 feature points is encouraging after only a few steps of manual work. In the Expression driven model, we well design a template model, then additional models can be loaded without initialization. Only a camera and a common PC is needed in our system, on condition that source video is taken under normal lightning environment, synchronous realistic target animation can be acquired.
