Neural networks for facial modeling

Abstract:

Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for modeling facial representations using image segmentation with a client device. The systems and methods receive an image depicting a face, detect at least a portion of the face within the image, and identify a set of facial features within the portion of the face. The systems and methods generate a descriptor function representing the set of facial features, fit object functions of the descriptor function, identify an identification probability for each facial feature, and assign an identification to each facial feature.
