Abstract

See full text

Creating a 3D face reconstruction model using a single 2D image and a generic facial depth map that provides depth information. In one example, the generic facial depth map is selected based on gender and ethnicity/race. In one embodiment, a set of facial features of the 2D image is mapped to create a facial-feature map, and a 2D mesh is created using the map. The same set of facial features is also mapped onto a generic facial depth map, and a 3D mesh is created therefrom. The 2D image is then warped by transposing depth information from the 3D mesh of the generic facial depth map onto the 2D mesh of the 2D image so as to create a reconstructed 3D model of the face. The reconstructed 3D model can be used, for example, to create one or more synthetic off-angle-pose images of the subject of the original 2D image.
