Interest in research activities in facial processing especially cartoonization, caricature and emotion generation have gradually increased over the recent years. The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, it provides an algorithms along with its results in which exaggerated cartoon like effects are added into a single facial frontal image according to the given cartoon template. The cartoon formed in this process will have similar features as of original image. Secondly, the study provides facial transformation algorithms and techniques to generate various artifacts and emotions including sad, shy, happy, blank, serious, surprise and innocent. Thirdly, the study discusses different transformation algorithms to generate various caricatures from the single frontal facial image. The output images generated using these open source algorithms and techniques are also provided in this paper to assess their subjective quality
