  2. Outline • Review • What is the aim of face tracking? • How did people do it? • What we are going to go? • Current Works • Mean-shift skin tracking • Mean-shift elliptical head tracking • Face tracking and imitation

  3. Detection Recognition, verification Expression, talking… attributes applications Face in interaction • Where? • Who? • What? • What we expect computer? • To perceive the above information • To response properly

  4. Applications • Authentication • Human recognition • Internet • Human-computer interface • Facial animation • Talking agent • Model-based video coding

  5. The role of tracking • Two meaning: • When face detected, keep up its motion • Tracking is easier in some sense • Some Tasks request you • To know its pose • To improve performance for recognition of face and expression • Synthesis and animation

  6. What facts cause face variation? 1. Pose (model the relative view to camera ) 2. Deformation(model the face expression and talking…) 3. Intensity change (model the illumination and sensor)

  7. What is face tracking? • To find all the variation factors • Problem formulation: translation Intensity sensor deformation rotation projection

  15. What will we do? • Task: Personalized full tracking and animation of face • Start point: 2d face location • Selecting face model • Modeling expression • Modeling illumination • Animation

  16. What conditions we have? • Personalized face is specific • to model shape • to model expression • to have stable feature points • to sample lighting effect • Statistical learning • PCA, ASM,AAM • muscle vector, human metric for expression • Learn feature point location

  17. Start point--current work • Mean shift tracking of skin color • Mean shift tracking of elliptical head • 2 step face tracking and expression imitation

  18. Selecting face model Face modeling itself is a large topic, related in graphics, talking face, etc. What model should we choose , must considering: 1. The model can account for 3d motion 2. The model is easy to adjust to individual From Reference [29]

  19. Face model: data capture • to determine head geometry • method • two calibrated front and frofile images • 10 feature ponits--four eye corners, two nostrils, the bottom of the upper front teeth, the chin, the base of ears

  20. Face model: locate features • to locate the facial features with high precision in three steps • to find a coarse outline of the head and estimation of main features • to analyze the important areas in more detail • zooms in on specific points and measure with high accuracy.

  21. Face model: locate features

  22. Face model: Location of main features • texture segmentation • using luminance image • bandpass filter and adaptive threshold • morphological operation • connected component analysis • extracting the center of mass, width, and height of each blob

  23. Face model: Location of main features • color segmentation • background color /skin,hair color • extraction the similar feature as the texture • evaluating combination of features • to train a 2-d head model (size) • to score blobs to select candidates • to check each eye candidate for good combination • to evaluate whole head

  24. Face model: Measuring facial features • to find the exact dimension • area around the mouth and the eye • using HSI color space • threshold for each color cluster(predefined) • recalibrating the color thresholds dynamcally • remarkable accurate, not robust enough • 2 pixels, standard deviation

  25. Face model: Measuring facial feature the colors of teeth, lips and the inner,dark part of the mouth is prelearned

  26. Face model: High accuracy feature points • Correlation analysis • a group of kernel • kernel chosen by width and height • scan in the image for the best correlation • 20X20 in 100X100, conjugate gradient descent approach • 0.5 pixel standard deviation

  27. Face model: High accuracy from correlation

  28. Face model: Pose estimation • using 6 corners, 3d known from the model • iteration equation (to find i,j and Z0) • lowpass filtering on their trajectories

  29. Modeling expression • Like AAM, create pose free apperance patches

  30. Modeling illumination • 3D linear space , assuming Labersion surface, without shadowing • Considering shadowing and distrotion, can increase the basis to around 10 • Using only one subject, we can learn the linear space by eperiment

  31. Animation • Synthesis animation • Performance driven sketch animation

  32. End Questions and comments?

  33. Mean shift color tracking • An implementation to show power of skin • Feature is probability of skin hue • Mean-shift search • Choose a search window size. • Choose the initial location of the search window. • Compute the mean location in the search window. • Center the search window at the mean location computed in Step3. • Repeat Steps 3 and 4 until convergence

  34. ctned • Find the zeroth moment M00 • Find the first moment for x and y, M10, M01 • Then the mean search window location (the centroid) is (xc, yc) (xc = M10/ M00, yc = M01/ M00 ) • Get features from the blob: • Length, weighth, rotation

  35. ctned back

  36. Meanshift elliptical head tracking Based on shape and adaptive color: the head is shaped as an ellipse and the head’s appearance is represented by adaptive color. • First : mean shift to track the color blob • Second: Maximizing the normalized gradient around the boundary of the elliptical head.

  37. Why adaptive color The head’s hue vary during tracking, esp. in different views or big rotation, such as: In order to handle this problem, we modify the head’s color continuously during tracking using tracking result. hT : the initial color representation hR: the tracking result color in the current frame hN : the head’s color for tracking in the next frame

  38. Relocate elliptical head • Maximizing the normalized Gradient • Assuming the elliptical head’s state • gi is the intensity gradient at perimeter pixel i of the ellipse • Nhis the number of pixels on the perimeter of the ellipse. • Then update color

  39. Benefits • Compared with Bradski’s paper and Stanford elliptical head paper, our approach has the benefits: • Robust (fusion of color and gradient cue, adaptive to color changing) • Fast (do not need to search, meanshift iterate fast)

  40. Demo back

  41. Real time face pose tracking & expression imitation (still on) • A modification to Active apperance model • The most obvious drawback of AAM? • slow, because it can not apply PCA projection directly • Explictly compute the rigid motion by a rigid of feature points • Learning the PCA space for nonrigid shape and appearance

  42. Two step face tracking Formulation: Rigid features x1, nonrigid features x2 Ta(x1)->z1, the same T a (x2)->z2 Deal with unprecise of rigid points by synthesized feedback: In the synthyzied Z2, relocate rigid feature x1 and compute new T Iteration untill covergence

  43. Pose free expression Pose T New face with pose and expression

  44. Animation One implementaion: using a hand drawing corresponding modes, for example: back
