Abstract:
A global model system, comprising;an overall model builder for receiving specific motion information images;local deformations; anda scalable default mode, comprising:a global component, andparametric offsets, comprising:a trio of offset values (u.sub.off, v.sub.off,.alpha..sub.off) plus a point of attachment (u.sub.attach, v.sub.attach, .alpha..sub.attach) to said global component and an offset vector calculated by evaluating said global component at (u.sub.off, v.sub.off,.alpha..sub.off), and taking a vector difference with said point of attachment (u.sub.attach, v.sub.attach, .alpha..sub.attach), wherein said global component is fitted to the information images, to deform the scalable default model while maintaining an overall expected shape based on the scalable default model, by changing the global component via parameters corresponding thereto in accordance with the received images, and maintaining the trio of offset values corresponding to said parametric offsets.
