Abstract
A system for generating three-dimensional facial models including photorealistic hair and facial textures includes creating a facial model with reliance upon neural networks based upon a single two-dimensional input image. The photorealistic hair is created by finding a subset of similar three-dimensional polystrip hairstyles from a large database of polystrip hairstyles, selecting the most-alike polystrip hairstyle, deforming that polystrip hairstyle to better fit the hair of the two-dimensional image. Then, collisions and bald spots are corrected, and suitable textures are applied. Finally, the facial model and polystrip hairstyle are combined into a final three-dimensional avatar.
