METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR EXTRACTING COLOR FROM FACIAL IMAGE

An electronic apparatus performs a method of extracting color from a two-dimensional (2D) facial image of a real-life person that includes: identifying a plurality of keypoints in the 2D facial image based on a keypoint prediction model; rotating the 2D facial image until the selected keypoints from the plurality of keypoints are aligned; locating a plurality of parts in the rotated 2D facial image, wherein each part is defined by a respective subset of the plurality of keypoints; extracting, from the pixel values of the 2D facial image, the average color for each of the plurality of the parts defined by a corresponding subset of keypoints; and generating a personalized three-dimensional (3D) model of the real-life person that mimics the respective facial feature color of the 2D facial image using the extracted colors of the plurality of the parts in the 2D facial image.
