An Artistic Portrait Caricature Model

We present a new model for artistic portrait caricature modeling and rendering. It is composed of a caricature model and a rendering system. The computer portrait caricature is based on an exaggeration of the face features depending on measures realized on the head. A canon provides “golden proportions” to idealize adult male or female head. According to automatic measures realized on a 3D head mesh, the model produces a new deformed mesh. Using the deformed mesh, the renderer produces images in real-time with an hand-like line drawing style.
