    摘要: A system, method, and apparatus for generating a normalized three-dimensional model of a human face from a single unconstrained two-dimensional image of the human face. The system includes a processor that executes instructions including receiving the single unconstrained two-dimensional image of the human face, using an inference network to determine an inferred normalized three-dimensional model of the human face based on the single unconstrained two-dimensional image of the human face, and using a refinement network to iteratively determine the normalized three-dimensional model of the human face with a neutral expression and unshaded albedo textures under diffuse lighting conditions based on the inferred normalized three-dimensional model of the human face.

    摘要: A system for generating three-dimensional facial models including photorealistic hair and facial textures includes creating a facial model with reliance upon neural networks based upon a single two-dimensional input image. The photorealistic hair is created by finding a subset of similar three-dimensional polystrip hairstyles from a large database of polystrip hairstyles, selecting the most-alike polystrip hairstyle, deforming that polystrip hairstyle to better fit the hair of the two-dimensional image. Then, collisions and bald spots are corrected, and suitable textures are applied. Finally, the facial model and polystrip hairstyle are combined into a final three-dimensional avatar.

    摘要: A method for generating three-dimensional facial models and photorealistic textures from inferences using deep neural networks relies upon generating a low frequency and a high frequency albedo map of the full and partial face, respectively. Then, the high frequency albedo map may be used for comparison with correlation matrices generated by a neural network trained by a large scale, high-resolution facial dataset with simulated partial visibility. The corresponding correlation matrices of the complete facial textures can then be retrieved. Finally, a full facial texture map may be synthesized, using convex combinations of the correlation matrices. A photorealistic facial texture for the three-dimensional face rendering can be obtained through optimization using the deep neural network and a loss function that incorporates the blended target correlation matrices.

    摘要: A system, method, and apparatus for generating a normalization of a single two-dimensional image of an unconstrained human face. The system receives the single two-dimensional image of the unconstrained human face, generates an undistorted face based on the unconstrained human face by removing perspective distortion from the unconstrained human face via a perspective undistortion network, generates an evenly lit face based on the undistorted face by normalizing lighting of the undistorted face via a lighting translation network, and generates a frontalized and neutralized expression face based on the evenly lit face via an expression neutralization network.
