Head position extrapolation based on a 3D model and image data

A method, comprising:

• receiving an input image depicting an object, wherein the input image includes a first portion of the object;
• obtaining input data defining a first bounding box that provides graphical boundaries of the first portion of the object, the input data further defining orientation data indicating at least one of a yaw, a pitch, and a roll of the first portion of the object;
• selecting a 3D model from a number of 3D models, the 3D model selection based on a default 3D model or the selection being based on the 3D model having at least one physical feature of the object depicted in the input image, wherein the 3D model has at least a first segment that is associated with the first portion of the object and a second segment that is associated with a second portion of the object;
• causing a rotation of the 3D model using at least one of the yaw, the pitch, or the roll that is obtained from the input data;
• applying a projection to the 3D model to generate a 2D shape of the 3D model, wherein a 2D model comprises geometric shapes from a first segment of the 3D model;
• and
• causing at least one of a scaling operation and a translation operation to the 2D shape utilizing the first bounding box to generate a 2D output image that includes a graphical extrapolation of physical features of the second portion of the object, wherein a position of the graphical extrapolation of physical features is positioned outside of the first bounding box and within a second bounding box.

A computing device, the computing device comprising:

• one or more processing units;
• and
• a computer-readable storage medium having encoded thereon computer-executable instructions to cause the one or more processing units to:
• receiving an input image depicting a person, wherein the input image includes a face of the person;
• obtaining input data from a face detector defining a face bounding box that provides boundaries of the face of the person, the input data further defining orientation data indicating at least one of a yaw, a pitch, and a roll of the face of the person;
• selecting a 3D model from a number of 3D models, the 3D model selection based on a selection of a default 3D model or the 3D model selection being based on the 3D model having at least one feature associated with the person depicted in the input image;
• causing a rotation operation to the 3D model using at least one of the yaw, the pitch, or the roll that is obtained from the input data;
• causing a projection operation to the 3D model to generate a 2D shape of the 3D model, wherein a 2D model comprises geometric shapes from a head segment of the 3D model, wherein the geometric shapes from a head segment of the 3D model are configured to be used to provide an extension of the at least one feature of the face of the person;
• and
• causing a scaling and a translation to the 2D shape utilizing the face bounding box to generate a 2D output image that includes a graphical extrapolation of physical features of a head of the person, the physical features being based on the geometric shapes from the head segment of the 3D model, wherein the graphical extrapolation of physical features of the head is positioned outside of the face bounding box and within a head bounding box.
