  • Publication number: 20250069288
    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented method that includes receiving, by one or more processors, a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a user's mouth where the 3D representation is a mesh representation comprising a plurality of surfaces; mapping, by the one or more processors, the 3D representation of the user's mouth into a two-dimensional (2D) space; encoding, one or more 3D surface characteristics of the plurality of surfaces using one or more channels of a 2D representation; applying, by the one or more processors, a machine learning model to the representation of the user's mouth in 2D space, the machine learning model trained to enhance the representation of the user's mouth in 2D space; and mapping, by the one or more processors, the enhanced representation of the user's mouth in 2D space to an enhanced representation of the user's mouth in 3D space using the one or more surface characteristics.
