GENERATING VIRTUAL HAIRSTYLE USING LATENT SPACE PROJECTORS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240221259 titled 'GENERATING VIRTUAL HAIRSTYLE USING LATENT SPACE PROJECTORS
The subject technology involves using a GAN model to create a realistic image of a face with 3D virtual hair. This image is then projected into a GAN latent space to generate a new image with realistic virtual hair that corresponds to the 3D virtual hair.
- Utilizes a GAN model to generate a realistic image of a face with 3D virtual hair
- Projects the image with virtual hair into a GAN latent space to create a new image with realistic virtual hair
- Blends the realistic virtual hair with the original image of the face to produce a final image with new realistic hair
- Trains a neural network to generate output images with realistic virtual hair based on input images with 3D virtual hair
- Provides a method for creating images with realistic hair based on 3D virtual hair inputs
Potential Applications: - Virtual hair styling applications - Virtual try-on for hair products - Virtual makeup and hair simulation
Problems Solved: - Creating realistic virtual hair on digital images - Enhancing virtual reality experiences with lifelike hair simulations
Benefits: - Improved visualization of hairstyles - Enhanced virtual beauty experiences - Personalized virtual hair styling options
Commercial Applications: Title: Virtual Hair Styling Technology for Beauty Industry Description: This technology can be used by beauty brands, salons, and virtual makeover apps to offer customers realistic virtual hair styling experiences, increasing engagement and sales.
Questions about Virtual Hair Styling Technology: 1. How does this technology improve virtual beauty experiences? - This technology enhances virtual beauty experiences by providing realistic virtual hair simulations, allowing users to visualize different hairstyles accurately. 2. What are the potential commercial uses of this technology? - This technology can be utilized by beauty brands, salons, and virtual makeover apps to offer customers personalized and realistic virtual hair styling options.
Original Abstract Submitted
the subject technology generates a first image of a face using a gan model. the subject technology applies 3d virtual hair on the first image to generate a second image with 3d virtual hair. the subject technology projects the second image with 3d virtual hair into a gan latent space to generate a third image with realistic virtual hair. the subject technology performs a blend of the realistic virtual hair with the first image of the face to generate a new image with new realistic hair that corresponds to the 3d virtual hair. the subject technology trains a neural network that receives the second image with the 3d virtual hair and provides an output image with realistic virtual hair. the subject technology generates using the trained neural network, a particular output image with realistic hair based on a particular input image with 3d virtual hair.
