Patent Images
1. A face avatar generating apparatus comprising:
- a face feature information extraction unit for receiving a face photo and extracting face feature information from the face photo;
a two-dimensional (2D) avatar generation unit for selecting at least one region from the face photo based on the face feature information, and exaggerating or beautifying the selected region to create a 2D avatar image; and
a 3D avatar generation unit for modifying a standard 3D face model through a comparison of predetermined feature information on standard 3D face model and the face feature information to create a 3D avatar.

Abstract
A face avatar generating apparatus includes: a face feature information extraction unit for receiving a face photo and extracting face feature information from the face photo and a two-dimensional (2D) avatar generation unit for selecting at least one region from the face photo based on the face feature information, and exaggerating or beautifying the selected region to create a 2D avatar image. The apparatus further includes a 3D avatar generation unit for modifying a standard 3D face model through a comparison with the standard 3D model based on the face feature information and pre-stored standard information to create a 3D avatar image.

16. A face avatar generating method comprising:
-
correcting geometrical information or color information of a face photo received from an outside and extracting face feature information based on the corrected result; selecting at least one region from the face photo based on the face feature information, and exaggerating or beautifying the selected region to create a 2D avatar image; and modifying a standard 3D face model through a comparison of predetermined feature information on standard 3D model and the face feature information to create a 3D avatar image. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19)
