Abstract
A method (300) includes receiving a first facial framework (144a) and a first captured image (130a) of a face (20). The first facial framework corresponds to the face at a first frame and includes a first facial mesh (142a) of facial information (140). The method also includes projecting the first captured image onto the first facial framework and determining a facial texture (212) corresponding to the face based on the projected first captured image. The method also includes receiving a second facial framework (144b) at a second frame that includes a second facial mesh (142b) of facial information and updating the facial texture based on the received second facial framework. The method also includes displaying the updated facial texture as a three-dimensional avatar (160). The three-dimensional avatar corresponds to a virtual representation of the face.
