Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for creating avatars from image data of a person. According to these techniques, spatial facial attributes of a subject may be measured from an image representing the subject. The measured facial attributes may be matching to a three-dimensional avatar template. Other attributes of the subject may be identified, such as hair type, hair color, eye color, skin color and the like. For hair type, hair may be generated for the avatar by measuring spatial locations of hair of the subject and the measured hair locations may be compared to locations of hair represented by a plurality of hair templates. A matching hair template may be selected from the plurality of hair templates, which may be used in generating the avatar. An avatar may be generated from the matching avatar template, which may be deformed according to the measured spatial facial attributes, and from the other attributes.
