ABSTRACT:
A method for mapping a digitized image of a face on to a reference wireframe topology in a computer system is provided, the image composed of pixels, the wireframe composed of interconnected nodes, the method including the steps of determining facial features from the pixels, determining facial landmark points from the facial features, computing displacements for each one of the interconnected nodes, and manually finetuning the displacements in response to the step of computing.
