Abstract: This paper presents a method for synthesizing the facial make-ups in Peking Opera.By the method,we first classify most of existing patterns in the facial make-ups into different types according to their semantic meaning and abstract feature points associated with these patterns.Then we construct a bank of vectorised patterns by Bézier curve interpolation based on those feature points.During the synthesis phase,users pick up required patterns from the pattern bank and compose them to form new facial make-ups.Our system offers a set of tools that allow users flexible control over the shape,size and orientation of patterns.Users may also interpolate different patterns to obtain new ones and use them in the new facial make-ups.Potential applications of the system include decoration design,digital entertainment and education of Peking Opera etc.
