FaceCap

markerless facial animation capture and real-time viseme detection

Architecture

• Uses OpenCV and dlib in conjunction with OpenFace to use 68-point facial landmark detection to detect Action Units based on the FACS model.
• Use ZeroMQ to communicate the Action Unit (AU) intensity to Unity3D/Unreal Engine 4 project for real-time demonstration or via a PyMEL pipeline to Maya for keyframe recording (TODO)
• Use RNNNoise to denoise microphone input and feed it to VisemeNet to extract the relevant visemes. Apply it to a Daz3D Genesis 3 model in Maya via the PyMEL pipeline.
