Problems solved by technology

[0004] There is an existing expression driving method based on a single model, which establishes the motion correspondence between the source and the target by applying RBF to train the skeleton structure, and then performs real-time driving through the weights obtained through training. Changes can easily distort the model
[0005] To sum up, the driving method using virtual models in the existing technology has disadvantages such as poor user experience and easy distortion of the model, which cannot meet the requirements of using virtual models to replace users to express emotions during video calls. At the same time, because video calls transmit The whole video takes up a lot of network resources, and it is prone to video freezing, blurring or disconnection, and the user experience is not good.

Abstract

The invention discloses a driving method for a 2D virtual model, and equipment thereof, wherein the driving method and the equipment belong to the field of image processing. The driving method comprises the steps of performing characteristic point positioning on a current face image, and acquiring a 2D coordinate of a characteristic point; acquiring a positive 3D coordinate of the characteristic point according to the 2D coordinate of the characteristic point; acquiring a 3D coordinate of the 2D virtual model, and establishing a 3D expression group of the 2D virtual model according to a regression relation between the 3D coordinate of the 2D virtual model and expression group data of a pre-established face model database; according to the positive 3D coordinate and the 3D expression group of the 2D virtual model, acquiring a fitting coefficient between the current face and the 3D expression group of the 2D virtual model; and driving the 2D virtual model according to the fitting coefficient. Through driving the 2D virtual model according to the fitting coefficient, a requirement of a user for replacing himself in video through the 2D virtual model is satisfied, and furthermore bandwidth in video calling is effectively reduced. Furthermore an embarrassment that a user does not want to expose face in an interaction process with a stranger is prevented, and user experience is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of image processing, in particular to a driving method and device for a 2D virtual model. Background technique [0002] Virtual model facial expression animation is a hotspot in current research, and it has a very wide range of applications in fields such as virtual reality, digital entertainment, communication and video conferencing, and human interaction. [0003] With the popularization of mobile terminals and the decline of network bandwidth charges, video calls will become the first choice in the social field. Since strangers are reluctant to show their faces at the beginning of communication, a communication tool is urgently needed to replace the video images of both parties. Virtual expression mapping will be a better choice. It can not only use virtual characters to replace users to express emotions, but also save a lot of bandwidth, and it can be completed only by sending corresponding parameters. [0004] ...
