Implementation of Single Camera Markerless Facial Motion Capture using Blendshapes
2021 IEEE International Conference on Computation System and Information Technology for Sustainable Solutions (CSITSS) · Jan 25, 2022Used the inter-landmark distances from facial landmark detectors as facial motion tracking data. This data is used to drive the weights of blendshapes, thereby mimicking the expression of the actor. Orientation invariant facial motion capture was explored.
