Avatar Creation using Automatic Face Recognition

In the multimedia context, an avatar is the visual representation of the self in a virtual world. It is desirable to incorporate personal information, such as an image of face, about the user into the avatar. To this end we have developed an algorithm which can automatically extract a face from an image, modify it, characterize it in terms of high-level properties, and apply it to the creation of a personalized avatar. The algorithm has been tested on several hundred facial images, including many taken under uncontrolled acquisition conditions, and found to exhibit satisfactory performance for immediate practical use.
