Realization of 3-D Facial Animation Based on MPEG-4

The technique of realistic three-dimensional human facial animation is an important research direction in computer graphics. How to simulate the motions of human faces on 3D facial models in real-time to generate realistic facial expressions is still a challenge problem. Based on the theory of facial animation in MPEG-4, a new method for realizing 3-D facial animation is proposed in this paper. This method is proper for any topological face model. With the drive of Facial Animation Parameter (FAP) frame, the proposed method can realize realistic facial animation.
