Claim One:
1. A properties measurement method, the method comprising: providing an image of the image object, the image being a two-dimensional (2D) representation of the face of the image object; providing a three-dimensional (3D) mesh having a first plurality of mesh reference points and a second plurality of mesh reference points, the first plurality of mesh reference points and the second plurality of mesh reference points being predefined; identifying a plurality of feature portions of the image object from the image; identifying a first plurality of image reference points and a second plurality of image reference points based on the plurality of feature portions of the image object, the first plurality of image reference points and the second plurality of image reference points having 3D coordinates; at least one of manipulating and deforming the 3D mesh by compensating the first plurality of mesh reference points accordingly towards the first plurality of image reference points, the deformed 3D mesh displacing the second plurality of mesh reference points; identifying difference between the displaced second plurality of mesh reference points and the second plurality of image reference points for obtaining a first profile, the difference being obtained by comparing the inter-configuration of the displaced second plurality of mesh reference points with the inter-configuration of the second plurality of image reference points; and identifying a face expression of the image object based on the first profile.
