Patent number: 11587279Abstract: Examples of systems and methods for augmented facial animation are generally described herein. A method for mapping facial expressions to an alternative avatar expression may include capturing a series of images of a face, and detecting a sequence of facial expressions of the face from the series of images. The method may include determining an alternative avatar expression mapped to the sequence of facial expressions, and animating an avatar using the alternative avatar expression.Type: GrantFiled: February 28, 2022Date of Patent: February 21, 2023Assignee: INTEL CORPORATIONInventors: Yikai Fang, Yangzhou Du, Qiang Eric Li, Xiaofeng Tong, Wenlong Li, Minje Park, Myung-Ho Ju, Jihyeon Kate Yi, Tae-Hoon Pete Kim

Patent number: 9171357Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method, apparatus and computer-readable recording medium for refocusing a photographed image using a depth map. According an aspect of the present disclosure, there is provided a refocusing method including a) outputting a photographed image on a display unit; b) determining whether a region to be refocused is specified in the output image; c) computing a depth map of the output image if the region to be refocused is specified; d) acquiring a refocused image by increasing resolution of the specified region to be refocused and decreasing resolution of regions other than the specified region to be refocused, based on the computed depth map; and e) outputting the refocused image on the display unit. According to the present disclosure, when an image photographed using a camera is not focused exactly or it is intended to focus on another region of the photographed image, a refocused image can be generated by specifying a region to be refocused in the photographed image.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2012Date of Patent: October 27, 2015Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Jihyeon Kate Yi, Kanghee Edward Lee
