Abstract: This paper proposes a method for child picture synthesis. Given a man's picture, a woman's picture, and a child's picture, our method generates the child picture by blending these facial shapes and skin colors. To solve the problem caused by direct linear combination, i.e., the facial shape suffers from disproportion and distortion. We get the final shape of the child with the help of a standard and statistical template of the child. In addition, we reconstruct the Gaussian radical base function to remove the image's stretch and distortion caused by affine deformation. At last, we adopt the cross-dissolves method for the child picture synthesis and propose using the filter to remove the forehead's artifacts. The results indicate that the child face generated with our method not only owns the father's and mother's features, but the picture also shows visual aesthetic feeling.
