Abstract
Techniques for facial performance capture using an adaptive model are provided herein. For example, a computer-implemented method may include obtaining a three-dimensional scan of a subject and a generating customized digital model including a set of blendshapes using the three-dimensional scan, each of one or more blendshapes of the set of blendshapes representing at least a portion of a characteristic of the subject. The method may further include receiving input data of the subject, the input data including video data and depth data, tracking body deformations of the subject by fitting the input data using one or more of the blendshapes of the set, and fitting a refined linear model onto the input data using one or more adaptive principal component analysis shapes.
