Abstract
A system including an avatar generation engine (AGE) (607) and a method for automatically generating an avatar with pronounced features are provided. The AGE (607) extracts a primary image of a primary component, for example, a face component, and a secondary image of a secondary component, for example, a hair component, from an input image of a target object. The AGE (607) normalizes and processes the primary image for extracting a feature image corresponding to a feature indicating a distinct characteristic of the target object. The AGE (607) processes the extracted feature image for graphically pronouncing the features. The AGE (607) generates a primary canvas including a predicted tone of the primary component. The AGE (607) generates an avatar with pronounced features by merging a primary graphical image generated by merging the primary canvas with the graphically pronounced features, with a secondary graphical image of the secondary component.
