In this paper, we propose a method to automatically generate a height map image that can be useful for creating 2.5D clip. To this end, we used a Viola - Jones algorithm that segments eyes, nose and mouth of the image and analyzed the characteristics of each to derive the height value that is used for producing a final height map . Finally, we can apply the height map to create photo-realistic images that can be easily reproduced for synthesizing 2.5D animation in Adobe. To verify the proposed method, we have carried out a user study between 2.5D movies clips which are proposed our automatic method and a manually generated method.
