Abstract(in English) In this paper, an automatic facial expression synthesis by manipulating a very few control points under facial muscles constraint is proposed. We constructed a facial model from scanned range data using 3D scanner for synthesizing facial expression based on facial muscles contraction of the model. And the motion of facial geometry with emotion is measured by motion capture. We use positions of the motion capture markers on the face as control points. Comparing the control points and synthesized facial expression, we propose the method of estimating facial muscles contraction parameters for realistic facial expression synthesis. A facial model's deformation is defined uniquely to those parameters, so all of the vertex on the face not measured by motion capture can be well described based on the deformation rules of facial muscles contraction. In this way, we create various kinds of realistic facial expressions by facial muscles contraction.
