Abstract

Praćenje lica je postupak kojim se tehnikama računalnog vida slijedi ljudsko lice i njegove ključne točke u video slici. Ta je tehnologija u okviru ovog rada korištena za pokretanje animacije lica virtualnog lika. Animacija je ostvarena morphingom, metodom kojom se interpolira između neutralnog i deformiranog tijela. Grafički sustav koji je korišten pri izradi aplikacije je biblioteka Three.js temeljena na WebGL-u, a korišten sustav za praćenje lica je Visage|SDK. Grafički sustav je na odgovarajući način povezan sa sustavom praćenja lica. Model dostupnog virtualnog lika je bio izvorno definiran u OBJ formatu, pa je pretvoren u Three.js JSON format kako bi se mogao koristiti u Three.js-u.

Abstract (english)

Face tracking is a process where computer vision is used to locate human face and its feature points in video image. In this paper, face tracking is used to gain motion in the face of animated virtual character. Morphing is used in the process of animation. Morphing is a method where interpolation between neutral and deformed body is made. Graphic system used to build the application is Three.js library based on WebGL. Face tracking system used to build the application is Visage|SDK. Graphic system is compatible with face tracking system. Model of the virtual character was initially defined in OBJ format, then it was converted to Three.js JSON format so it could be used in Three.js.
