| 20090153552 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GENERATING INDIVIDUALIZED 3D HEAD MODELS - Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a substantially life-like, individualized three-dimensional (3D) head model. In one example, the method includes reconstructing a 3D face mask from the input image data of an individual's head or face. Detected facial landmarks of the reconstructed face mask are aligned with corresponding facial landmarks of a generic head model, and the remainder of the head is reconstructed by generating a blend fit head model from a weighted combination of basis head models. The blend fit model is then deformed to more accurately reflect the facial and/or head geometry of the individual. The method may further include associating an animation rig with the individualized 3D head model that allows for simulated movement of the 3D head model in, for example, personalized media content. | 06-18-2009 |
