ABSTRACT:
A stored plurality of closed curved line data define a plurality of closed curved lines that represent parts of a face image. From the stored data, all coordinates of the closed curved lines on a raster grid plane are computed. A stored plurality of color data each designate a color of a different one of the image objects surrounded by the closed curved lines. Each coordinate on the plane is painted with a color designated by the stored color data of the image object having the highest priority in the image objects that include the coordinate, thus making a colored face image. The face expression of the image may be changed by transforming the closed curved lines with stored transforming data. An animation of an image sequence with a continuously changing face expression may be made by successively transforming the closed curved lines with a stored sequence of transforming data. Bit map data may be applied to represent part of the face image.
