Mapping an Intel® RealSense™ SDK Face Scan to a 3D Head Model

The face mapping sample uses the Intel RealSense™ 3D Scan module to scan the user's face and then map it onto an existing 3D head model. This is an improvement on a previous code sample sample that used a "stone faced" mapping technique. In this sample the following features have been added:

• Parameterized head. The user can shape the head using a series of sliders. For example, the user can change the width of the head, ears, jaw, and so on.
• Standardized mesh topology. The mapping algorithm can be applied to a head mesh with a standardized topology and can retain the context of each vertex after the mapping is complete. This paves the way for animating the head, improved blending, and post-mapping effects.
• Color and shape post processing. Morph targets and additional color blending can be applied after the mapping stages are complete to customize the final result.
• Hair. There are new hair models created to fit the base head model. A custom algorithm is used to adjust the hair geometry to conform to the user’s chosen head shape.

Build Instructions

The facescan2.sln solution should be built with Visual Studio 2012 or greater. There are 2 build configurations types available, the kind that support scanning faces, and the ones that only supports face mapping of a pre-scanned face. The configurations with the "_NO_RS" prefix don't support face scanning and can be built and run without the RealSense™ SDK or RealSense™ camera

Requirements

• Windows 8.1 or Windows 10
• Visual Studio 2012 or higher
• Intel® RealSense™ SDK (R5 release) or newer *
• RealSense™ F200 or SR300 Camera*

• These are only required for scanning new faces. The sample includes a single pre-scanned face for experimenting.
