Image Talk uses a single image to automatically create talking sequences in real time. The image can be acquired from a photograph, video clip, or hand drawn characters. This interactive system accepts Chinese text and talks back in Mandarin Chinese, generating facial expression in real time. Image Talk analyzes Chinese text by converting it to a standard Pinyin system used in Taiwan and fetches the associated facial expressions from an expression pool. The expressions are synchronized with the sound and played back in a talking sequence. Image Talk also incorporates eye blinking, small scale head rotation and translation perturbations, to make the resulting sequence more natural. It is also easy to switch to any other face images. The result is quite entertaining, and can easily be used as a new human machine interface, as well as for lip sync in computer animated characters.

Object interactions are ubiquitous in interactive computer graphics, 3D object motion simulations, virtual reality and robotics applications. Most collision detection algorithms are based on geometrical object space interference tests. Some algorithms have employed an image space approach to the collision detection problem. We demonstrate an image space collision detection process that allows substantial computational savings during the image space interference test. This approach makes efficient use of the graphics rendering hardware for real time complex object interactions.

The paper proposes a generation system of unit quarternion curves and surfaces to design fair curves and surfaces. Curvature and variation of curvature are the primary factors that determine the quality of fair curves and surfaces; however not so many methods have been explored to directly manipulate them, especially in three dimensional space. We use unit quaternion curves in integral forms to specify the tangent of a curve and the first derivative of a surface in one parameter direction. This enables us to control their curvature and variation of curvature more than is possible with traditional parametric representations like Bezier and NURBS curves and surfaces. Using unit quaternion curves balances the efficiency of the design process and the fairness of the designed curves and surfaces. Our system can generate fair curves and surfaces within a short time and their quality is acceptable for industrial applications as well as CG animation.

Given a set of points defined over a sphere, we wish to interpolate these points such that the resulting surface possesses C/sup 2/ continuity. The basis of our work is a hybrid interpolant which is a convex combination of three quintic Bezier schemes. This interpolant is of degree 9 over degree 4 and it requires the evaluation of 27 control points.

A new kind of NURBS representation for periodic curves is introduced. The method for periodic curves is extended to derive a compact and symmetric representation of the sphere or the ellipsoid using a piecewise bi-quadratic NURBS surface with only eight distinct control vertices.
