A system of analyzing and synthesizing facial images

A system is presented which analyzes and synthesizes the facial images. This system is focused on analysis and synthesis of facial features. Any particular image is assumed to be a weighted sum of facial image bases. The weights represent the facial features of the particular image. A method which analyzes and synthesizes the facial images on the basis of a three-dimensional facial shape model is presented. The method is extended so that the features of parts as well as the whole of the face can be analyzed and synthesized. Moreover, a procedure is developed for orthogonalizing the image bases for optimal description.<>
