    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with 3D face model reconstruction are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus may include a facial landmark detector, a model fitter and a model tracker. The facial landmark detector may be configured to detect a plurality of landmarks of a face and their locations within each of a plurality of image frames. The model fitter may be configured to generate a 3D model of the face from a 3D model of a neutral face, in view of detected landmarks of the face and their locations within a first one of the plurality of image frames. The model tracker may be configured to maintain the 3D model to track the face in subsequent image frames, successively updating the 3D model in view of detected landmarks of the face and their locations within each of successive ones of the plurality of image frames. In embodiments, the facial landmark detector may include a face detector, an initial facial landmark detector, and one or more facial landmark detection linear regressors. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with generating and animating avatars are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus may comprise an avatar generator to receive an image having a face of a user; analyze the image to identify various facial and related components of the user; access an avatar database to identify corresponding artistic renditions for the various facial and related components stored in the database; and combine the corresponding artistic renditions for the various facial and related components to form an avatar, without user intervention. In embodiments, the apparatus may further comprise an avatar animation engine to animate the avatar in accordance with a plurality of animation messages having facial expression or head pose parameters that describe facial expressions or head poses of a user determined from an image of the user. Other embodiments may be disclosed and/or claimed.

    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with capturing images are disclosed herein. In embodiments, the apparatus may include a face tracker to receive an image frame, analyze the image frame for a face, and on identification of a face in the image frame, evaluate the face to determine whether the image frame comprises an acceptable or unacceptable face pose. Further, the face tracker may be configured to provide instructions for taking another image frame, on determination of the image frame having an unacceptable face pose, with the instructions designed to improve likelihood that the other image frame will comprise an acceptable face pose. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
