Realistic avatar creation for movies, video games, teleconferencing, and social media
Abstract
USC researchers have developed Deep Iterative Face Fitting (DIFF), an end-to-end neural network that can create high-quality face avatars from a single image. This technique can reconstruct a professional-grade face model down to pore-level facial geometries...
