Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for processing facial images, particularly but not exclusively for use in digital animation eg computer games.
  • Photogrammetric techniques are known for converting two or more overlapping 2D images acquired from different viewpoints into a common 3D representation and in principle such techniques can be applied to the human face to generate a 3D representation which can be animated using known digital techniques.
  • Suitable algorithms for correlating image regions of corresponding images are already known - eg Gruen's algorithm (see Gruen, A W “Adaptive least squares correlation: a powerful image matching technique”S Afr J of Photogrammetry, remote sensing and Cartography Vol 14 No 3 (1985) and Gruen, A W and Baltsavias, E P "High precision image matching for digital terrain model generation” Int Arch photogrammetry Vol 25 No 3 (1986) p254) and particularly the "region-growing” modification thereto which is described in Otto and Chau “Region-growing algorithm for matching terrain images” Image and Vision Computing Vol 7 No 2 May 1989 p83.
  • Gruen's algorithm is an adaptive least squares correlation algorithm in which two image patches of typically 15 x 15 to 30 x 30 pixels are correlated (ie selected from larger left and right images in such a manner as to give the most consistent match between patches) by allowing an affine geometric distortion between coordinates in the images (ie stretching or compression in which originally parallel lines remain parallel in the transformation) and allowing an additive radiometric distortion between the grey levels of the pixels in the image patches, generating an over-constrained set of linear equations representing the discrepancies between the correlated pixels and finding a least squares solution which minimises the discrepancies.
  • the Gruen algorithm is essentially an iterative algorithm and requires a reasonable approximation for the correlation to be fed in before it will converge to the correct solution.
  • the Otto and Chau region-growing algorithm begins with an approximate match between a point in one image and a point in the other, utilises Gruen's algorithm to produce a more accurate match and to generate the geometric and radiometric distortion parameters, and uses the distortion parameters to predict _ approximate matches for points in the region of the neighbourhood of the initial matching point.
  • the neighbouring points are selected by choosing the four adjacent points on a grid having a grid spacing of eg 5 or 10 pixels in order to avoid running
  • a candidate matched point moves by more than a certain amount (eg 3 pixels) per iteration then it is not a valid matched point and should be rejected;
  • One object of the present invention is to overcome or alleviate such disadvantages.
  • the present invention provides a method of providing a three- dimensional representation of an object wherein two or more two-dimensional images of the object are photogrammetrically processed to generate an incomplete three-dimensional representation thereof and the incomplete three-dimensional representation is combined with a generic representation of such objects to provide the three-dimensional representation.
  • the object is a human or animal body or a part thereof.
  • the three-dimensional representation derived from the combination with the generic representation is provided in the format of an animatable character.
  • the resulting three-dimensional representation is converted to the file format of a computer game character and loaded into the computer game.
  • the invention provides a method of personalising a computer game character wherein at least one image of a player of the game is digitally processed at a location remote from the player's computer, converted to an animatable character file and loaded onto the player's computer.
  • the image can be processed on an Internet server computer and downloaded over the Internet.
  • a fully automated system whereby Quake, Doom, Descent and other popular games users, can be provided with a custom game character with their own face (preferably a 3D face) inserted into the character. This would enable them to use a visualisation of themselves in a game.
  • This service could be provided via the Internet with little or no human intervention by the operator of the server.
  • a low-resolution model is required for gaming, as the game will have to support the manipulation of the character in the gaming environment, in real time, on a variety of PCs.
  • the games user would be required to take a set of images of himself/herself using a digital camera or scanned photographs, under specified guidelines.
  • the server will then schedule an image processing job to perform the following tasks: * Determine 3D facial geometry from the supplied image files
  • the completed character would be sent as an attachment to the specified email address, and a micro transaction performed to bill the user's credit card.
  • Figure 1 is a schematic flow diagram of an image processing method in accordance with one aspect of the invention.
  • Figure 2A is a schematic plan view showing one camera arrangement for acquiring the images utilised in the method of Figure 1 ;
  • Figure 2B is a schematic plan view of another camera arrangement for acquiring the ima *goe"s utilised in the method of Figure 1;
  • Figure 2C is a schematic plan view of yet another camera arrangement for acquiring the images utilised in the method of Figure 1, and
  • Figure 3 is a schematic representation of an Internet-based arrangement for providing an animated games character by a method in accordance with the second aspect of the invention.
  • left and right images II and 12 are acquired eg by a digital camera and processed by standard photogrammetric techniques to provide an incomplete 3D representatation 100 of the game player's head.
  • the determination of the game player's facial geometry can involve Gruens type area matching, facial feature correlation, and facial feature recognition via a statistical model of the human face.
  • Gruens type area matching suffers from the problem of having no projected texture, and is thus highly susceptible to the texture in the face of the subject, the ambient lighting conditions, and the difference in colour hues and intensities between images. It is also susceptible to the lack of camera model or optical geometry of the captured images.
  • Facial feature correlation suffers from the problem that any facial feature that is incorrectly detected will cause a very poor model to be generated. Facial feature recognition via a statistical model prevents gross inaccuracies from occurring and should lead to a more robust solution. It is possible that part of the image submission process could involve the user in specifying certain key points on the images.
  • a 3D representation of a generic head 200 is provided. Given geometric information derived from the preceding stage, the generic head model can be distorted to fit the subject's roughly calculated geometry. This head could be in one of two forms, a NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B Spline) model, or a polygon model.
  • the NURBS Model has the advantage of being easily deformable to the subject's geometry, but suffers from the drawback of higher processing overhead, and having to convert to polygons for subsequent processing stages.
  • a texture map is derived (400) from the 3D head (100) and attached to the representation resulting from step 300 (step 500) (ie used to render the modified generic head) and the resulting realistic character representation is then integrated with or attached to the body of the games character (step 600).
  • step 700 If necessary the resulting model is converted to polygon form (step 700).
  • the number of polygons may have to be reduced (step 800).
  • the completed model may be reduced to quite a low polygon count, possibly 100 or so, in order to produce a relatively small model to transmit and use within the game.
  • polygon-reduced representation is converted to a games file format which can be handled by the game (step 900).
  • This last step may require liaison and co-operation with the games manufacturers, or it is conceivable that this task could be performed completely independently.
  • FIG. 2A, 2B and 2C Each of these Figures shows different camera arrangements which could be provided as fixed stereoscopic camera arrangements in a dedicated booth provided in (say a gaming arcade) or could be set up by the games player.
  • a camera C acquires an image from one viewpoint and the same or a different camera C acquires an overlapping image from a different viewpoint.
  • the fields of view V must overlap in the region of the face of the subject 1.
  • the cameras are diagonally disposed at right angles
  • the cameras are parallel
  • the cameras are orthogonal, so that one camera has a front view and the other camera has a profile view of the subject 1.
  • the arrangement of Figure 2C is particularly preferred because the front view and profile are acquired independently.
  • the front image and profile image can be analysed to determine the size and location of features and the resulting data can be used to select one of a range of generic heads or to adjust variable parameters of the generic head as shown, prior to step 300.
  • the exact camera locations and orientations can be determined and the remaining points correlated relatively easily to enable a 3D representation of the subject 1 to be generated, essentially be projecting ray lines from pairs of correlated points by virtual projectors having the same location, orientation and optical parameters as the cameras.
  • a known algorithm eg the Gruen algorithm
  • the above correlation process between the generic image G and the image I of the character 1 provided by digital camera C can be performed by a server computer S on the Internet and the 2D images acquired by the camera C can either be posted by the games player (eg as photographic prints) or uploaded (eg as email attachments) onto the server from the user's computer PC via a communications link CL provided by the Internet.
  • server computer S has stored on its hard disc HD:
  • the use's computer PC would have stored on its hard disc HD one or more games programs, Internet access software, graphics software for handling the images 0 provided by camera C and a conventional operating system, eg Windows 95® or
  • Both computer PC and computer S are provided with a standard microprocessor ⁇ P eg an Intel Pentium® processor as well as RAM and ROM and appropriate input/output circuitry I/O connected to standard modems M or other 5 comunication devices.
  • ⁇ P eg an Intel Pentium® processor
  • RAM and ROM appropriate input/output circuitry I/O connected to standard modems M or other 5 comunication devices.
  • the WWW submission form F would be based on a Java Applet to allow the validation of the quality of the submitted images, and the selection of body Q types. It is likely that the server operator would want to test images for their size, resolution, and possibly their contrast ratio, before accepting them for processing. If this can be done by an applet before accepting any credit card transaction, then it will help to reduce bad conversions. By weeding out potential failures at an early _ stage, this will reduce wasted processing time, and will reduce customer frustration by not having to wait a few hours to find out that the images were not of sufficient quality to produce a character.
  • the operator can request other information of the user for his own uses, namely:
  • the invention can also be implemented in a purpose-built games booth at which the images II and 12 are acquired, and the processing can be carried out either locally in the booth or remotely eg in a server computer linked to a number of such booths in a network.
  • more than two cameras could be used to acquire the 3D surface of the character.

Abstract

Dans un procédé de personnalisation d'un caractère de jeu sur ordinateur, on réalise un traitement numérique d'au moins une image bidimensionnelle (I) d'un caractère (1) du jeu (par exemple l'utilisateur d'un ordinateur personnel connecté à l'Internet) dans un serveur (S) situé à distance de l'ordinateur du joueur par distorsion d'une image générique (G) pour la faire correspondre au visage ou à la tête de l'utilisateur, puis on la convertit en un fichier de caractères pouvant être animé et téléchargé dans l'ordinateur du joueur. De préférence, deux images superposées sont captées par une caméra numérique et téléchargées dans le serveur où on les traite de manière stéréoscopique pour obtenir une représentation tridimensionnelle incomplète (I) à laquelle on compare la représentation tridimensionnelle générique (G), cette dernière étant déformée pour correspondre à la première.
