Facial caricaturing from images could be widely used in digital entertainment and emotional communication.Previous methods mainly focused on 2D caricature generation.Although the Morphable Model can synthesize 3D faces with various attributes
it is not fit for the real-time application as the high computational cost.We proposed an improved 3D caricaturing method based on Sparse Morphable Model.It is much faster and only requires a single image.Firstly a sparse face model is reconstructed from the image by Sparse Morphable Model.Then a General Face Model is warped and texture is synthesized.Finally the 3D model is caricatured.Experimental results demonstrate that this method can generate impressive 3D caricature from a single frontal image fast and automatically.
