Embodiment Construction

[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with accompanying drawing:

[0041] Such as figure 1 As shown, the present invention mainly consists of four parts: image preprocessing; BP face detection; enhanced ASM face feature point positioning and tracking; data information conversion. In the image preprocessing module, the image quality is enhanced through light compensation, Gaussian smoothing and morphological operations of grayscale images; in the BP face detection module, the face in the video is detected by the neural network algorithm, and its position and size are returned, as The next step of facial feature point positioning provides a smaller search range to ensure real-time performance; in the video face feature point positioning and tracking module, the enhanced active shape model (ASM) algorithm and predictive meanshift algorithm are used to accurately extract faces Shape, eyes, eyebrows, mouth, nose and other feature point informa...

Abstract

The invention discloses a video-based 3D human face expression cartoon driving method, which comprises the following steps: (1) image preprocessing, namely improving the image quality through light compensation, Gaussian smoothing and morphology operation of a gray level image; (2) BP human face detection, namely detecting a human face in a video through a BP neural network algorithm, and returning the size of the position of the human face for providing a smaller search range for human face characteristic point positioning of the next step to ensure instantaneity; (3) ASM human face characteristic point positioning and tracking, namely precisely extracting characteristic point information of human face shape, eyes, eyebrows, mouth and nose through an enhanced active shape model algorithm and a predicted meanshift algorithm, and returning the definite position; and (4) data information conversion, namely converting the data information acquired in the human face characteristic point positioning and tracking step to acquire the motion information of the human face. The method can overcome the defects in the prior art, and can achieve live human face cartoon driving effect.
