Abstract
A method for estimating a 3D vector angle from a 2D face image, a method for creating a face replacement database and a method for replacing a face image includes steps of capturing a face image, detecting a rotation angle of the face image, defining a region to be replaced in the face image, creating a face database for storing replaced images corresponding to the region to be replaced, and pasting one of the replaced images having the corresponding rotation angle of the face image into a target replacing region. Therefore, the region to be replaced of a static or dynamic face image can be replaced by a replaced image quickly by a single camera without requiring a manual setting of the feature points of a target image. These methods support face replacement at different angles and compensate the color difference to provide a natural look of the replaced image.
