Wavelet-based facial motion capture for avatar animation

(57) Summary book invention detects a motion of a person's face, the feature, the characteristic, etc. , and is carried out in the equipment for generating and animating the picture of what gave man's figure based on detection of a face, and the method of relation. The image processing technology based on the model graph and バンチ graph which express the feature of a picture efficiently as a jet is used for this equipment. A jet consists of wavelet transform easily processed on the node or landmark location of the picture corresponding to the discriminable feature. A node is gained and pursued and what gave man's figure is animated according to a motion of a person's face. Moreover, in detection of a face, it can pursue by searching for the feature and the characteristic of a face of a person using the degree of jet similar, without being accompanied by the unnatural element which can block or prevent the person's natural characteristic for a person's natural characteristic.
