Patent

CA 2227361

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for animating a synthetic body part, more particularly to a 3D-animation system and method utilizing a database of basic expressions. In a first step, for each frame, a linear combination of the basic expressions from a database of basic expressions is obtained by minimizing the Euclidean distance between the displacement of critical points and that of their respective physical markers. The linear combination of the expressions in the database of expressions is then used to construct the desired expression. Expressions are constructed for each time frame and are then display consecutively to provide animation. The invention also provides a computer readable storage medium containing a program element to direct a processor of a computer to implement the animation process.
