Analysis and comparison of facial animation algorithms: caricatures

Abstract

The thesis will be aimed to review what has been done from around the 2000 until now regarding the caricature generation field in 2D. It will be organized in classifying the methods found first, telling their contributions to the field and choosing a paper among them to implement and discuss more thoroughly. A total of three papers will be selected. Finally, an overview discussion on the papers implemented and their contributions to the field will be given. Brief comment on the Master Thesis small change of title: In the very beginning, when I was planning to do the thesis, I talked with my tutor and found that doing a review and comparison of some methods in the facial animation field would suit. However, while reading papers on the topic, I found that a great number of them required hardware which I didn’t have any access to. The generation of 2D caricatures is still close to the field, and it didn’t need any additional hardware device
