  • Facial expression modeling method, apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium of the same
    Patent number: 10885702
    Abstract: A facial expression modeling method used in a facial expression modeling apparatus is provided that includes the steps outlined below. Two two-dimensional images of a facial expression retrieved by two image retrieving modules respectively are received. A deep learning process is performed on the two two-dimensional images to generate a disparity map. The two two-dimensional images and the disparity map are concatenated to generate a three-channel feature map. The three-channel feature map is processed by a weighting calculation neural network to generate a plurality of blend-shape weightings. A three-dimensional facial expression is modeled according to the blend-shape weightings.
