Patent number: 10535163Abstract: A system for generating three-dimensional facial models including photorealistic hair and facial textures includes creating a facial model with reliance upon neural networks based upon a single two-dimensional input image. The photorealistic hair is created by finding a subset of similar three-dimensional polystrip hairstyles from a large database of polystrip hairstyles, selecting the most-alike polystrip hairstyle, deforming that polystrip hairstyle to better fit the hair of the two-dimensional image. Then, collisions and bald spots are corrected, and suitable textures are applied. Finally, the facial model and polystrip hairstyle are combined into a final three-dimensional avatar.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2018Date of Patent: January 14, 2020Assignee: Pinscreen, Inc.Inventors: Hao Li, Liwen Hu, Lingyu Wei, Koki Nagano, Jaewoo Seo, Jens Fursund, Shunsuke Saito

Patent number: 10497172Abstract: A method for generating three-dimensional facial models and photorealistic textures from inferences using deep neural networks relies upon generating a low frequency and a high frequency albedo map of the full and partial face, respectively. Then, the high frequency albedo map may be used for comparison with correlation matrices generated by a neural network trained by a large scale, high-resolution facial dataset with simulated partial visibility. The corresponding correlation matrices of the complete facial textures can then be retrieved. Finally, a full facial texture map may be synthesized, using convex combinations of the correlation matrices. A photorealistic facial texture for the three-dimensional face rendering can be obtained through optimization using the deep neural network and a loss function that incorporates the blended target correlation matrices.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 2017Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: Pinscreen, Inc.Inventors: Shunsuke Saito, Cosimo Wei, Liwen Hu, Hao Li

Patent number: 10163003Abstract: Certain embodiments involve recognizing combinations of body shape, pose, and clothing in three-dimensional input images. For example, synthetic training images are generated based on user inputs. These synthetic training images depict different training figures with respective combinations of a body pose, a body shape, and a clothing item. A machine learning algorithm is trained to recognize the pose-shape-clothing combinations in the synthetic training images and to generate feature descriptors describing the pose-shape-clothing combinations. The trained machine learning algorithm is outputted for use by an image manipulation application. In one example, an image manipulation application uses a feature descriptor, which is generated by the machine learning algorithm, to match an input figure in an input image to an example image based on a correspondence between a pose-shape-clothing combination of the input figure and a pose-shape-clothing combination of an example figure in the example image.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2016Date of Patent: December 25, 2018Assignee: Adobe Systems IncorporatedInventors: Zhili Chen, Duygu Ceylan, Byungmoon Kim, Liwen Hu, Jimei Yang
