Abstract: A method may include: receiving facial image of the patient that depicts the patient's teeth; receiving a 3D model of the patient's teeth; determining color palette of the depiction of the patient's teeth; coding 3D model of the patient's teeth based on attributes of the 3D model; providing the 3D model, the color palette, and the coded 3D model to a neural network; processing the 3D model, the color palette, and the coded 3D model by the neural network to generate a processed image of the patient's teeth; simulating specular highlights on the processed image of the patient's teeth; and inserting the processed image of the patient's teeth into a mouth opening of the facial image.

Abstract: A method includes determining, from a first image, a first region comprising teeth, wherein the first region comprises a first set of pixel locations. A first parametric function is generated based on intensities at the first set of pixel locations. Image data comprising new contours of the mouth is received, wherein one or more of the teeth have a different position in the image data than in the first image. A second region comprising the teeth is determined from the image data, wherein the second region comprises a second set of pixel locations for the teeth. A new image is then generated based on the image data and the first parametric function, wherein a shape of the teeth is based on the image data and a color of the teeth is based on applying the first parametric function to the second set of pixel locations for the teeth.
