Abstract

In this paper, we present new techniques for creating a realistic specific human face based on a general 3D face model and several photos of a human. The morphing technique allows interactive alignment of features of the general geometric face model with the features of the multi-direction images of the specific human face, which are pre-provided by the animator. To enhance the realism, we employ a multi-direction texture mapping technique, which gets illumination information from multi-direction images of the specific human face.
