Human Head Modeling Based on an Improved Generic Model

With the development of Computer Graphics, Virtual Reality Technology is becoming the focus of the research gradually. 3D face modeling technology, which is an important component of the Virtual Reality Technology, has been used in many fields more and more widely. Comparing with the face modeling, the researches in the entire head modeling are less now. This paper proposed an approach to the construction of 3D human head models using an improved generic face model(Candide 3) and some 2D human head images. Some simple human expressional controls are realized by adding the Animation Units(AUs) to the model
