Abstract
Generating an expressive avatar includes obtaining an expressive image of a face, and determining at least one target levels of detail for a representation of the face. A trained convolutional neural network model is applied to the expressive image of the face to obtain a mesh representation of the face at each of the at least one target levels of detail, wherein each convolution in the trained convolutional neural network model provides a unique level of detail, and an avatar is generated based on the mesh representation of the face at least of the at least one target levels of detail.
