Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2907569A1] The method involves analyzing shapes, contours/dynamic components of a face/head image of a rear video sequence. Face/head's characteristic points e.g. corners of eyes and mouth, are extracted by preset parametric models. Specific parametric models are defined from the points, and deformed for being adapted to the contours of traits of the face. Cutaneous structure of face/head regions is detected and analyzed. Features of other images of the sequence and color of the structure are modified based on criterions in a database and decision criterions of a zero plus or first order expert system. An independent claim is also included for a device for automatic virtual simulation of a sequence of video images individualized for each of users and obtained from a sequence of real video images of a face or head in movement.
