3D Morphing of Faces Under Internet Environment
面向因特网环境的面部三维变形

There is a wide foreground for 3D modeling concerned with faces under Internet environment. Panoramic range image and its corresponding panoramic color image are used to describe 3D faces in this paper. Based on it, 3D morphing of faces under the internet environment is introduced, and is attempted with reasonable tradeoff methods by using virtual reality modeling language in world wide web browser such as Microsoft internet explorer with cosmo player plug in. The results show that: with reasonable designs such as proper automatic mesh subdivision and realistic texture mapping, the describing data could be made as small as possible to fit for applications in the internet; meanwhile realistic efforts could also be guaranteed. Such a research could supply technical supports for virtual communication, virtual broadcasting and tele education in the Internet. It is expected to improve the interface and to increase the interesting of the Internet by using such a technology.
