Abstract:


    In recent years, tremendous advances have been achieved in the 3D computer graphics used in the entertainment industry, and in the semiconductor technologies used to fabricate graphics chips and CPUs. However, although good reproduction of facial expressions is possible through 3D CG, the creation of realistic expressions and mouth motion is not a simple task.
