Software for converting two-dimensional images into three-dimensional models

Purpose of reseach . Development of a software package for the automatic creation of photorealistic threedimensional models of faces based on a single input image, which will provide a high degree of detail and realism of models, as well as ease of use, Methods. The study uses an integrated approach to create photorealistic three-dimensional models of faces from two-dimensional images based on reverse rendering methods and cascading convolutional neural networks (CNN). The main element is a three-dimensional transformable model (3DMM), which describes the geometry and albedo of a face through linear combinations of principal component bases (PCA). To match the 3D geometry and the 2D image, a weak perspective projection is used, taking into account Euler angles and lighting conditions. Optimization of the objective function using the Gauss-Newton method minimizes the differences between the input and rendered images, and correction of depth and facial details is achieved through the adaptation of 3D graphics. Linear albedo interpolation clarifies the details of the model in key areas, which contributes to the creation of high-quality and realistic 3D models of faces. Results. This article successfully implements a software package capable of generating photorealistic threedimensional models of faces from one-dimensional images using reverse rendering and cascading convolutional neural networks. The experiments have confirmed the algorithm's ability to perceive important facial characteristics and create opportunities for further applications in the fields of computer graphics, animation and virtual interfaces. Conclusion. The results obtained indicate the high efficiency of the developed algorithm for generating photorealistic three-dimensional models of faces from two-dimensional images. In addition, the results confirm that the use of reverse rendering methods in conjunction with cascading convolutional neural networks allows for significant improvements in visualization quality.
