The paper presents a method to enhance facial reflectance capture using smartphones, achieving studio-like quality by employing a patch-level diffusion prior trained on high-resolution Light Stage scans.
Researchers have developed a new technique to capture high-quality facial appearances using just a smartphone and a flashlight. This method allows everyday users to achieve results similar to those from professional studio equipment. By learning from high-quality scans typically captured in studios, the technique improves the quality of facial reconstructions. This advancement could make it easier for people to create digital versions of themselves using simple, everyday tools.
