Graphical Facial Expression Analysis and Design Method: An Approach to Determine Humanoid Skin Deformation

The architecture of human face is complex consisting of 268 voluntary muscles that perform coordinated action to create real-time facial expression. In order to replicate facial expression on humanoid face by utilizing discrete actuators, the first and foremost step is the identification of a pair of origin and sinking points (SPs). In this paper, we address this issue and present a graphical analysis technique that could be used to design...
