Abstract:
A method includes receiving a first facial framework and a first captured image of a face. The first facial framework corresponds to the face at a first frame and includes a first facial mesh of facial information. The method also includes projecting the first captured image onto the first facial framework and determining a facial texture corresponding to the face based on the projected first captured image. The method also includes receiving a second facial framework at a second frame that includes a second facial mesh of facial information and updating the facial texture based on the received second facial framework. The method also includes displaying the updated facial texture as a three-dimensional avatar. The three-dimensional avatar corresponds to a virtual representation of the face.
