Publication number: 20100189357Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the virtual simulation of a sequence of video images from a sequence of video images of a moving face/head, comprising: an acquisition and initialization phase of a face/head image of the real video sequence; an evolution phase for determining specific parametric models from characteristic points extracted from said image and used as initial priming points, and for deforming said specific models for adaptation to the outlines of the features of the analyzed face, and also for detecting and analyzing the cutaneous structure of one or more regions of the face/head; and a tracking and transformation phase for modifying the characteristic features of other images in the video sequence and the colors of the cutaneous structure, said modifications being carried out according to predetermined criteria stored in at least one database and/or according to decision criteria of at least one expert system of a 0+ or 1 order.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2007Publication date: July 29, 2010Inventors: Jean-Marc Robin, Christophe Blanc

Patent number: 4345658Abstract: Vehicle able to move by adhesion on a random surface, with a central body defining a pivoting axis which remains substantially perpendicular to a surface and which has two groups of central supports which adhere to the surface; first and second carriages, each provided with two groups of adhesive end supports; first and second members for the guidance in rectilinear translation and without rotation of the first and second carriages in accordance with two directions which remain substantially orthogonal to the pivoting axis. The first and second carriages are displaceable along the guidance members; the first and second guidance members are pivotal about the pivot axis and the groups of central supports are rotatable about the pivot axis.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1979Date of Patent: August 24, 1982Assignee: Commissariat A l'Energie AtomiqueInventors: Francois Danel, Henri Nicollet, Paul Marchal, Marc Robin, Jean Vertut
