Physics-based Reconstruction and Animation of Humans

Alexandru Eugen Ichim

Creating digital representations of humans is of utmost importance for applications ranging from entertainment (video games, movies) to human-computer interaction and even psychiatrical treatments. What makes building credible digital doubles difficult is ...

Action Units and Their Cross-Correlations for Prediction of Cognitive Load during Driving

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Anil Yuce, Hua Gao, Gabriel Louis Cuendet

Driving requires the constant coordination of many body systems and full attention of the person. Cognitive distraction (subsidiary mental load) of the driver is an important factor that decreases attention and responsiveness, which may result in human err ...

Online Generative Model Personalization for Hand Tracking

Mark Pauly, Andrea Tagliasacchi, Edoardo Remelli, Anastasia Tkach

We present a newalgorithm for real-time hand tracking on commodity depth-sensing devices. Our method does not require a user-specific calibration session, but rather learns the geometry as the user performs live in front of the camera, thus enabling seamle ...

Phace: Physics-based Face Modeling and Animation

Mark Pauly, Ladislav Kavan, Alexandru Eugen Ichim

We present a novel physics-based approach to facial animation. Contrary to commonly used generative methods, our solution computes facial expressions by minimizing a set of non-linear potential energies that model the physical interaction of passive flesh, ...

Towards 3D facial morphometry

Gabriel Louis Cuendet

In anesthesiology, the detection and anticipation of difficult tracheal intubation is crucial for patient safety. When undergoing general anesthesia, a patient who is unexpectedly difficult to intubate risks potential life-threatening complications with po ...

Evaluating the Sensitivity to Virtual Characters Facial Asymmetry in Emotion Synthesis

Ronan Boulic, Junghyun Ahn, Nan Wang

The use of expressive Virtual Characters is an effective complementary means of communication for social networks offering multi-user 3D-chatting environment. In such context the facial expression channel offers a rich medium to translate the on-going emot ...

Capturing the Moment: Lightweight Similarity Computations

Rachid Guerraoui, Rhicheek Patra, Georgios Damaskinos

Similarity computations are crucial in various web activities like advertisements, search or trust-distrust predictions. These similarities often vary with time as product perception and popularity constantly change with users' evolving inclination. The hu ...

SPA: Sparse Photorealistic Animation Using a Single RGB-D Camera

Ronan Boulic, Eray Molla, Jingyu Yang, Kun Li

Photorealistic animation is a desirable technique for computer games and movie production. We propose a new method to synthesize plausible videos of human actors with new motions using a single cheap RGB-D camera. A small database is captured in a usual of ...

Online modeling for real-time facial animation

Mark Pauly, Sofien Bouaziz

Embodiments relate to a method for real-time facial animation, and a processing device for real-time facial animation. The method includes providing a dynamic expression model, receiving tracking data corresponding to a facial expression of a user, estimat ...

ELiSeD – An Event-Based Line Segment Detector

Davide Scaramuzza

Event-based temporal contrast vision sensors such as the Dynamic Vison Sensor (DVS) have advantages such as high dynamic range, low latency, and low power consumption. Instead of frames, these sensors produce a stream of events that encode discrete amounts ...
