Abstract:
A method includes determining, from a first image of a mouth, a first region of the first image comprising a representation of teeth; generating one or more parametric functions associated with tooth color based on color data from the first region; receiving image data comprising new contours of the mouth, wherein one or more of the teeth have a different position in the image data than in the first image; determining a second region comprising the teeth in the image data; and generating a new image based on the image data and the one or more parametric functions, wherein a shape of the teeth is based on the image data and a color of the teeth is based on applying the one or more parametric functions to the second region of the image data.
