Patent attributes
Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing a program and a method for synthesizing a realistic image with a new expression of a face in an input image by receiving an input image comprising a face having a first expression; obtaining a target expression for the face; and extracting a texture of the face and a shape of the face. The program and method for generating, based on the extracted texture of the face, a target texture corresponding to the obtained target expression using a first machine learning technique; generating, based on the extracted shape of the face, a target shape corresponding to the obtained target expression using a second machine learning technique; and combining the generated target texture and generated target shape into an output image comprising the face having a second expression corresponding to the obtained target expression.
