Progressive Transformation of Face Information - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17729987 Titled 'Progressive Transformation of Face Information'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a system that can generate a new image by combining a source image of a face with driving information. The source image includes data about the identity, pose, and expression of the face. The driving information specifies certain characteristics. The system uses multiple components that work at different levels and resolutions of a neural network. These components use geometric displacement field information to determine the differences between the source image and the driving information. Overall, the system can create a target image that combines features from the source image and the driving information.
Original Abstract Submitted
A face-processing system is described for producing a target image based on a source image and driving information. The source image includes data depicting at least a face of a source subject having a source identity, a source pose, and a source expression. The driving information specifies one or more driving characteristics. The target image combines characteristics of the source image and the driving information. According to illustrative implementations, the face-processing system produces the target image by using plural warping subcomponents that operate at plural respective levels of a neural network and at increasing respective resolutions. Each warping subcomponent operates, in part, based on geometric displacement field (GDF) information that describes differences between a source mesh derived from the source image and a driving mesh derived from the driving information.
