  • Patent number: 7103211
    Abstract: Techniques for generating a fully-textured 3D model of a human face are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a fully automatic system is configured to generate a 3-D model from a sequence of images that are produced from a single camera when a user is moving his/her head steadily from one direction to another, for example, from the left side of the camera to the right side of the camera. The images are processed in a two-stage process. First, the camera pose information is estimated for each of the valid image frames. Second, a mesh model is generated with respect to the camera pose information, and subsequently is textured with reference to one or more of the image frames.

  • Patent number: 7016824
    Abstract: Techniques and systems that provide interactions between a 3D representation of a selected pair of glasses and a fully-textured 3D face model are disclosed. According to one embodiment, an interactive platform is displayed to allow a user to select a pair of glasses and try the selected glasses on a user-provided 3D face model. The interactions provided in the platform include spatial adjustments of the glasses around the face model, various perspective views of the 3D face with the glasses on and other cosmetic alternations to the selected glasses. According to one application, when the user finishes the try-on process, the information about the glasses can be transmitted to a business that can subsequently produce a pair of customized glasses for the user.
