**Digital Domain’s virtual human field is superior to peers**
*Obtained the patent of “Animation Generation Method for Tracking Facial Expression and Neural Network Training Method”*
Digital Domain Group Co., Ltd. (“Digital Domain”, stock code: 547) recently broke through technical barriers again and obtained “Animation Generation Method for Tracking Facial Expressions and Neural Network Training Method” (Animation Generation Method for Tracking Facial Expressions and Neural Network Training Method) Neural Network Tracking Method Thereof, certificate number: I792845) patent. This patent helps to avoid complex parameter setting or adjustment around its facial expressions in the process of shaping a virtual human, so as to efficiently and accurately present a realistic and expressive digital character.
“Animation Generation Method for Tracking Facial Expression and Its Neural Network Training Method” can (1) drive the first character model according to the expression parameter set, and capture the corresponding virtual expression image; (2) combine multiple real faces The images are respectively mapped to the corresponding virtual expression images to generate multiple real-life expression images; (3) Neural network training is carried out by means of expression parameter sets and real-life expression images; (4) Input target facial images into the trained neural network , creating a predicted expression parameter set; and (5) controlling the second character model through the expression parameter set.
Xie An, CEO of Digital Domain, said: “At this moment, it will be the beginning of an era. How can we continue to innovate, so that more humanely designed virtual humans can surprise consumers in different markets and business models? 30 years With its Hollywood history and 17 years of investment in virtual human technology, Digital Domain has seized the opportunity of AIGC technology application and advanced deployment of virtual human commercialization. I believe that we are moving towards real-time construction methods, more and more perfect visual effect performance matrix, and walking Based on the previous cross-border and diverse practical experience, Digital Domain will strive to lead virtual human technology into a new era.”
Digital Domain is a pioneer in the virtualization of sensory experience born in Hollywood; with unparalleled craftsmanship, it has successively created hundreds of movies and episodes, thousands of commercials and game images. On the occasion of its 30th anniversary, Digital Domain continues to cultivate the virtual human race: Integrating deep learning, the technology that gave the soul of “Thanos” in the “Avengers” series has been iterated into real-time capture, real-time rendering and Instant drive. Its representative achievements include virtual Teresa Teng, virtual Martin Luther King Jr. and virtual David Beckham, etc. In addition, Digital Domain is planning to file dozens of patent applications to certification bodies in many countries and regions.
Digital Domain Group Limited (“Digital Domain”) is a pioneer in the virtualization of sensory experiences. After 30 years of transformation, Digital Domain, born in Hollywood, has gradually achieved global expansion in the fields of visual effects, virtual humans and visualization. The pursuit of creative strength and advanced technology has prompted Digital Domain to continue to introduce unparalleled craftsmanship into the creative process to create hundreds of movies and episodes, thousands of commercials, game images, experimental and immersive experiences. Representative achievements include: “Titanic”, “Dreams Come True” and “Benjamin’s Fantastic Journey”, which won the Academy Award for “Best Visual Effects”, “Avengers” series, “Stranger Things” No. Four seasons and so on.
As the first independent visual effects studio to successfully enter the Greater China region, Digital Domain set sail on the virtual track in 2016. By fully integrating low-level technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality and other application means, Digital Domain has built a series of photorealistic and emotionally expressive full-time digital characters, and extended them beyond the screen to create real-time characters in virtual scenes. Human-computer interaction and human-to-human interaction provide a new carrier form.
