US Patent 11200736 Periocular and audio synthesis of a full face image

Systems and methods for synthesizing an image of the face by a head-mounted device (HMD) are disclosed. The HMD may not be able to observe a portion of the face. The systems and methods described herein can generate a mapping from a conformation of the portion of the face that is not imaged to a conformation of the portion of the face observed. The HMD can receive an image of a portion of the face and use the mapping to determine a conformation of the portion of the face that is not observed. The HMD can combine the observed and unobserved portions to synthesize a full face image.
