Abstract(in English) In this paper, we describe a system that can map one's facial motion to different person's computer graphics facial animation. The facial motion is obtained by motion capture system which measures 3D coordinates of infra-red LED markers placed on one's face. The features how a different person speaks are modeled by 3D facial shape information of pre-defined basic nine postures characteristic to speech. These information are analyzed using PCA(principal component analysis), and they are linearly mapped based on the correspondences of the nine postures. Due to PCA, the number of parameters required to generate facial animation is only nine: three coefficients of dominant principal components and six rigid head motion. The proposing system can process all these procedures in real-time on computers connected through network.
