Abstract

Three dimensional models corresponding to a target image and a reference image are selected based on a set of feature points defining facial features in the target image and the reference image. The set of feature points defining the facial features in the target image and the reference image are associated with corresponding 3-dimensional models. A 3D motion flow between the 3-dimensional models is computed. The 3D motion flow is projected onto a 2D image plane to create a 2D optical field flow. The target image and the reference image are warped using the 2D optical field flow. A selected feature from the reference image is copied to the target image.
