Animation is a process of creating an illusion of movement by displaying a series of static images. The human anatomy is a favorite object of animation, including the face. The face is manipulated so as to convey various expressions (such as angry, surprised, etc.) necessary for animation. Display of a facial expression will contain many images to simulate motion. If this method will be done manually, it would be tedious. If a system can automatically render different facial expressions given a facial model, work will be lessened. This research aims to study ways by which such a system can be designed and implemented. It will investigate how the human face portrays various expressions to gain knowledge on how to build a realistic facial expression animation system.
