Abstract
Techniques performed by a data processing system for reconstructing a three-dimensional (3D) model of the face of a human subject herein include obtaining source data comprising a two-dimensional (2D) image, three-dimensional (3D) image, or depth information representing a face of a human subject. Reconstructing the 3D model of the face also includes generating a 3D model of the face of the human subject based on the source data by analyzing the source data to produce a coarse 3D model of the face of the human subject, and refining the coarse 3D model through free form deformation to produce a fitted 3D model. The coarse 3D model may be a 3D Morphable Model (3DMM), and the coarse 3D model may be refined through free-form deformation in which the deformation of the mesh is limited by applying an as-rigid-as-possible (ARAP) deformation constraint.
