Title:
AVATAR ANIMATION SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/101094
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Avatar animation systems disclosed herein provide high quality, real-time avatar animation that is based on the varying countenance of a human face. The real-time provision of high quality avatar animation is enabled, at least in part, by a multi-frame regressor that is configured to map information descriptive of facial expressions depicted in two or more images to information descriptive of a single avatar blend shape. The two or more images may be temporally sequential images. This multi-frame regressor implements a machine learning component that generates the high quality avatar animation from information descriptive of a subject's face and/or information descriptive of avatar animation frames previously generated by the multi-frame regressor. The machine learning component may be trained using a set of training images that depict human facial expressions and avatar animation authored by professional animators to reflect facial expressions depicted in the set of training images.
