A Novel Multi-resolution Anthropometrical Algorithm for Realistic Simulation and Manipulation of Facial Appearance

Abstract

Facial appearance changes associated with aging are affected with a variety of cues to age. These changes include the quantity and the color of hair, the length of the nose and ears, skin elasticity and the texture of skin (size of pores, prevalence of wrinkles, etc.). An attempt to mimic such changes by computer is an aspiring goal and challenging task. This paper proposes a novel algorithm with two techniques as a key solution for such a challenge by capturing such a variety of cues to age. These
