  • Publication number: 20240078754
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a computing system may access a first image of a first portion of a face of a user captured by a first camera from a first viewpoint and a second image of a second portion of the face captured by a second camera from a second viewpoint. The system may generate, using a machine-learning model and the first and second images, a synthesized image corresponding to a third portion of the face of the user as viewed from a third viewpoint. The system may access a three-dimensional (3D) facial model representative of the face and generate a texture image for the face by projecting at least the synthesized image onto the 3D facial model from a predetermined camera pose corresponding to the third viewpoint. The system may cause an output image to be rendered using at least the 3D facial model and the texture image.
