Abstract

This paper describes method to distribute much high-dimensional facial expression motion data to 2 dimensional space,and method to create facial expression animation by select expressions that want by realtime as animator navigates this space. In this paper composed expression space using about 2400 facial expression frames. The creation of facial space is ended by decision of shortest distance between any two expressions. The expression space as manifold space expresses approximately distance between two points as following.After define expression state vector that express state of each expression using distance matrix which represent distance between any markers,if two expression adjoin,regard this as approximate about shortest distance between two expressions. So, if adjacency distance is decided between adjacency expressions,connect these adjacency distances and yield shortest distance between any two expression states,use Floyd algorithm for this. To materialize expression space that is high-dimensional space,project on 2 dimensions using Sammon´s Mapping. Facial animation create by realtime with animators navigating 2 dimensional space using user interface.
