Facial Model Editing via Direct Cursor Interaction
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional facial model editing methods are complex and cumbersome, requiring users to switch between a facial model and sliding blocks in a control list, leading to increased operation complexity and difficulty.
Innovation Solution
A method and apparatus for facial model editing that detects the location of a cursor in a facial model, determines the corresponding facial position, and allows direct editing of that position, eliminating the need to drag sliding blocks in a control list, thereby simplifying the editing process and providing a more intuitive user experience.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If conventional facial model editing method using sliding blocks in control list is used, then editing functionality is achieved, but operation complexity increases and ease of operation deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts the editing functionality from the complex control list interface and directly integrates it into the facial model visualization. Users can now edit facial positions by interacting directly with the visual model rather than navigating through a separate control list, eliminating the need to switch between views and reducing operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the editing interface by allowing direct manipulation of individual facial positions within the visual model. Each facial position can be independently selected and adjusted through simple drag operations on the visual representation, rather than requiring systematic navigation through a comprehensive control list.
2Productivity
If users switch between facial model and sliding blocks continuously, then editing precision can be monitored, but time consumption increases and productivity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the monitoring function into the editing operation itself. By displaying the facial model with editable positions directly in the interface, users can see and adjust facial positions simultaneously without switching views. The visual model provides real-time feedback on editing changes, eliminating the time lost to continuous switching between monitoring and editing modes.
3Manufacturing precision
If detailed control list with many sliding blocks is provided, then editing precision is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates and interface complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing detailed editing controls only where needed - directly on the facial positions that require adjustment. Each facial position in the visual model can be individually selected and precisely adjusted through localized drag operations, rather than requiring a comprehensive control list that details every possible parameter. This maintains precision for specific edits while keeping the interface simple.

AI summary
A facial model editing method and apparatus are provided. The method includes detecting a location of a cursor in a facial model displayed on a screen. The facial model containing a plurality of facial positions. The method also includes determining a to-be-operated facial position from the plurality of facial positions according to the location of the cursor; and detecting a selection operation on the to-be-operated facial position. Further, the method includes editing the to-be-operated facial position in response to an obtained editing operation on the to-be-operated facial position; and displaying the edited to-be-operated facial position in the facial model.
