Computer scientists created algorithm that creates accurate digital models of human faces, potentially useful in improving reconstructive surgery, identifying individuals, and detecting diseases

May 12, 2017

Briefing

  • AI-Enabled Digital Facial Models – Computer scientists using advanced algorithms and facial scans to create digital models of faces with high accuracy
  • How It Works – Applying algorithms on large volumes of facial scans created large scale facial model (LSFM) that enables simulation of more-specific morphable facial models for different races and ages
  • Applications – Can help identify criminal suspects caught on camera in different angles, flesh out and animate historical figures from portraits, help plastic surgeons determine how patients will look like after surgery, and identify genetic diseases such as Williams syndrome
