Abstract

This paper deals with the making avatar like a caricature from human face image which is made by web camera. Generally, the Image made by web camera is not low quality but also, there are always various lights and backgrounds. So, It is impossible to recognize a human face's contour by some methods which only find some feature points of a image. Therefore, In this paper, we propose a new method for overcoming defeat of that methods. First, we got the area of human face roughly by color information. And then, we could find the exact human face's contour by using B-spline Snake.
