As such the method can readily be integrated with off-the-shelf facial performance capture systems. The core idea is to learn a non-linear mapping from the skin deformation to the underlying jaw motion on a dataset where ground-truth jaw poses have been acquired, and then to retarget the mapping to new subjects. Solving for the jaw pose plays a central role in visual effects pipelines, since accurate jaw motion is required when retargeting to fantasy characters and for physical simulation. Currently, this task is performed mostly manually to achieve the desired level of accuracy, and the presented method has the potential to fully automate this labour intense and error prone process.- Disney Research wrote on their page!
