Abstract
The present disclosure describes an online system that applies template-based facial augmentations to images as part of an augmented reality experience. A facial augmentation template is a template for an augmented reality (AR) modification to apply to a user's face. These templates include a structure for how the augmentation should be applied to the face and display parameters that a user can set for how the templates should be rendered (e.g., color, specularity, or opacity). The online system identifies feature points on a 3D model of the user's face that correspond to features on the user's actual face, and localizes the template relative to the 3D model by mapping anchor points of the template to corresponding feature points on the 3D model. The online system renders the facial augmentation template at the localization to generate an augmented image of the user's face.
