  • Patent number: 11803996
    Abstract: Techniques for face tracking comprise receiving landmark data associated with a plurality of images indicative of at least one facial part. Representative images corresponding to the plurality of images may be generated based on the landmark data. Each representative image may depict a plurality of segments, and each segment may correspond to a region of the at least one facial part. The plurality of images and corresponding representative images may be input into a neural network to train the neural network to predict a feature associated with a subsequently received image comprising a face. An animation associated with a facial expression may be controlled based on output from the trained neural network.

  • Publication number: 20230046286
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes techniques for facial expression recognition. A first loss function may be determined based on a first set of feature vectors associated with a first set of images depicting facial expressions and a first set of labels indicative of the facial expressions. A second loss function may be determined based on a second set of feature vectors associated with a second set of images depicting asymmetric facial expressions and a second set of labels indicative of the asymmetric facial expressions. The first loss function and the second loss function may be used to determine a maximum loss function. The maximum loss function may be applied during training of a model. The trained model may be configured to predict at least one asymmetric facial expression in a subsequently received image.
