Abstract

An electronic device estimates a pose of a face by fitting a generative face model mesh to a depth map based on vertices of the face model mesh that are estimated to be visible from the point of view of a depth camera. A face tracking module of the electronic device receives a depth image of a face from a depth camera and generates a depth map of the face based on the depth image. The face tracking module identifies a pose of the face by fitting a face model mesh to the pixels of a depth map that correspond to the vertices of the face model mesh that are estimated to be visible from the point of view of the depth camera.
