Systems and techniques are provided for generating a three-dimensional (3D) facial model. For example, a process can include obtaining at least one input image associated with a face. In some aspects, the process can include obtaining a pose for a 3D facial model associated with the face. In some examples, the process can include generating, by a machine learning model, the 3D facial model associated with the face. In some cases, one or more parameters associated with a shape component of the 3D facial model are conditioned on the pose. In some implementations, the 3D facial model is configured to vary in shape based on the pose for the 3D facial model associated with the face.

View dependent three-dimensional morphable models

Systems and techniques are provided for generating a texture for a three-dimensional (3D) facial model. For example, a process can include obtaining a first frame, the first frame including a first portion of a face. In some aspects, the process can include generating a 3D facial model based on the first frame and generating a first facial feature corresponding to the first portion of the face. In some examples, the process includes obtaining a second frame, the second frame including a second portion of the face. In some cases, the second portion of the face at least partially overlaps the first portion of the face. In some examples, the process includes combining the first facial feature with the second facial feature to generate an enhanced facial feature, wherein the combining is performed to enhance an appearance of select areas of the enhanced facial feature.

Facial texture synthesis for three-dimensional morphable models

Systems and techniques are provided for performing user authentication. For example, a process can include obtaining a plurality of images associated with a face and a facial expression of the user, wherein each respective image of the plurality of images includes a different portion of the face. An encoder neural network can be used to generate one or more predicted three-dimensional (3D) facial modeling parameters, wherein the encoder neural network generates the one or more predicted 3D facial modeling parameters based on the plurality of images. A reference 3D facial model associated with the face and the facial expression can be obtained. An error can be determined between the one or more predicted 3D facial modeling parameters and the reference 3D facial model, and the user can be authenticated user based on the error being less than a pre-determined authentication threshold.
