Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for re-aging images of faces and three-dimensional (3D) geometry representing faces. In some embodiments, an image of a face, an input age, and a target age, are input into a re-aging model, which outputs a re-aging delta image that can be combined with the input image to generate a re-aged image of the face. In some embodiments, 3D geometry representing a face is re-aged using local 3D re-aging models that each include a blendshape model for finding a linear combination of sample patches from geometries of different facial identities and generating a new shape for the patch at a target age based on the linear combination. In some embodiments, 3D geometry representing a face is re-aged by performing a shape-from-shading technique using re-aged images of the face captured from different viewpoints, which can optionally be constrained to linear combinations of sample patches from local blendshape models.
