Method and apparatus for generating models of individuals
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of generating texture render data comprising:
- receiving an image, the image including a representation of an eye having a corner and a pupil;
identifying, in the received image, a portion of the image extending between the pupil and the corner of the eye represented in the image; and
utilizing the identified portion of the received image to generate texture render data, wherein the generation of texture render data comprisescopying at least some of the identified portion of the received image as texture render data, andcalculating the remainder of the texture render data utilizing the copied data, such that texture render data at a specified distance from the center of the pupil in the texture render data corresponds to image data from within the identified portion of the received image at a corresponding distance from the center of the pupil in the identified portion of the received image.

Abstract
A communications system is described in which a plurality of mobile phones are provided, each including means for generating a user interface for enabling users to identify points in images as feature points. All of the phones are then operable to utilise points identified by users to generate 3D models of individuals in the images. The 3D models are generated by associating stored average depth data for points corresponding to the co-ordinates of the feature points and further points whose position is identified relative to the co-ordinates of the feature points. The 3D models are then used to generate images which are displayed on the mobile phones.

7. A method of generating a texture rendered model, the method comprising:
-
obtaining an image of an individual to be modeled, the image including a representation of an eye having a corner and a pupil; identifying in the obtained image, a portion of the image extending between the pupil and the corner of the eye represented in the image; utilizing the identified portion of the received image to generate texture render data, wherein texture render data at a specified distance from the center of the pupil is determined by utilizing image data from within the identified portion of the received image at the specified distance from the center of the pupil; utilizing the obtained image data to generate a 3D computer wire mesh model; and texture rendering the portions of the wire mesh model representing the eyes of the wire mesh model by utilizing the generated texture render data. - View Dependent Claims (8)
