  • Publication number: 20230419723
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of processing target footage of a target human face includes training an encoder-decoder network comprising an encoder network, a first decoder network, and a second decoder network. The training includes training a first path through the encoder-decoder network including the encoder network and the first decoder network to reconstruct the target footage of the target human face, and training a second path through the encoder-decoder network including the encoder network and the second decoder network to process renders of a synthetic face model exhibiting a range of poses and expressions to determine parameter values for the synthetic face model corresponding to the range of poses and expressions. The method includes processing, using a trained network path comprising or trained using the encoder network and comprising the first decoder network, source data representing the synthetic face model exhibiting a source sequence of expressions, to generate output video data.

  • Patent number: 9582901
    Abstract: Systems and methods are discussed to separate the specular reflectivity and/or the diffuse reflectivity from an input image. Embodiments of the invention can be used to determine the specular chromaticity by iteratively solving one or more objective functions. An objective function can include functions that take into account the smooth gradient of the specular chromaticity. An objective function can take into account the interior chromatic homogeneity of the diffuse chromaticity and/or the sharp changes between chromaticity. Embodiments of the invention can also be used to determine the specular chromaticity of an image using a pseudo specular-free image that is calculated from the input image and a dark channel image that can be used to iteratively solve an objective function(s).
