Abstract
This paper describes methods for acquiring and analyzing in real-time the motion of human faces. It proposes a model based on the use of snakes and image processing techniques. It explains how to generate real-time facial animation corresponding to the recorded motion. It also proposed a strategy for the communication between animators and synthetic actors.
