Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for generating topologically consistent meshes across various subjects, objects, and/or various facial expressions using a volumetric representation. In one example, a progressive mesh generation network is configured to embed the topological structure of a subject or an object in a feature volume sampled from a geometry-aware local features. Further, a coarse-to-fine iterative architecture facilitates dense and accurate facial mesh predictions using a consistent mesh topology. In another example, one or more high-quality asset maps may be generated from a final base mesh.
