1. A processor implemented method, the method comprising:
accessing a first facial expression image and a second facial expression image;
acquiring a first expression feature of the first facial expression image, the first expression feature comprising first expression feature coordinates of the first facial expression image;
acquiring a second expression feature of the second facial expression image, the second expression feature comprising second expression feature coordinates of the second facial expression image;
generating a new expression feature dependent on differences between the first expression feature coordinates and the second expression feature coordinates; and
adjusting a target facial expression image based on the new expression feature.
