A face tracking system is provided. The face tracking system includes a camera and a processor. The camera is configured to obtain a face image of a face of a user. The processor is configured to identify a facial feature of the face of the user based on the face image, determine a size range of a size of the facial feature based on the face image, and determine transformation relationship between the facial feature of the face of the user and a virtual facial feature of an avatar corresponding to the facial feature based on the size range of the size of the facial feature and a virtual size range of a virtual size of the virtual facial feature.

The disclosure relates to a face tracking system; particularly, the disclosure relates to a face tracking system and a face tracking method.
In order to bring an immersive experience to user, technologies related to extended reality (XR), such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) are constantly being developed. AR technology allows a user to bring virtual elements to the real world. VR technology allows a user to enter a whole new virtual world to experience a different life. MR technology merges the real world and the virtual world. Further, to bring a fully immersive experience to the user, visual content, audio content, or contents of other senses may be provided through one or more devices.
The disclosure is direct to a face tracking system and a face tracking method, so as to improve the user experience.
The accompanying drawings are included to provide a further understanding of the disclosure, and are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification. The drawings illustrate exemplary embodiments of the disclosure and, together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the disclosure.
FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a face tracking system according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
FIG. 2A is a schematic diagram of a face tracking scenario according to an embodiment of the disclosure.
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments of the disclosure, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Whenever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like components.
Certain terms are used throughout the specification and appended claims of the disclosure to refer to specific components. Those skilled in the art should understand that electronic device manufacturers may refer to the same components by different names. This article does not intend to distinguish those components with the same function but different names. In the following description and rights request, the words such as “comprise” and “include” are open-ended terms, and should be explained as “including but not limited to . . . ”.
The terms “first”, “second”, and similar terms mentioned throughout the whole specification of the present application (including the appended claims) are merely used to name discrete elements or to differentiate among different embodiments or ranges. Therefore, the terms should not be regarded as limiting an upper limit or a lower limit of the quantity of the elements and should not be used to limit the arrangement sequence of elements.
