A Facial Caricature Generation system using Adaptive Thresholding

Automatic Facial Caricature Generation involves extracting the feature points and emphasizing the distinctive features of a particular face. The input face is compared to an “Average Face” based on their respective facial distance parameters. The deviations are then scaled by an “Exaggeration Rate”, thereby elevating the peculiarity of the input face. A novel approach of Adaptive Thresholding has been used for the extraction of feature points from the input face to manage the non-uniform illuminations of the input face.
