## Описание

This time, we are going to talk about hair modeling - obtaining hair geometry information from a photograph. This geometry information we can use in our movies and computer games. We can also run simulations on them and see how they look on a digital character. This is a remarkably difficult problem and you'll see a great solution to it in this episode.

dear fellow Scholars this is 2minute papers with Caro a couple episodes ago we finally set sail in the wonderful world of hair simulations and today we shall continue our journey in this domain but this time we're going to talk about hair modeling so first what is the difference between hair simulation and modeling well simulation is about trying to compute the physical forces that act on hair strands thereby showing to the user how they would move about in reality modeling however is about obtaining geometry information from a photograph this geometry information we can use in our movies and computer games we can also run simulations on them and see how they look on a digital character just think about it the input is one photograph and the output is a digital 3D model this sounds like a remarkably difficult problem typically something that a human would do quite well but it would be too labor intensive to do so for a large number of hairstyles therefore as usual neural networks enter The Fray by looking at the photograph and trying to estimate the densities and distributions of the hair strands the predicted results are then matched with the hairstyles found in public data repositories and the closest match is presented to the user you can see some possible distribution classes here not only that but the method is fully automatic IC which means that unlike most previous works it doesn't need any guidance from the user to accomplish this task as a result the authors created an enormous data set with 50,000 photographs and their reconstructions that they made freely available for everyone to use the output results are so spectacular it's almost as if we were seeing magic unfold before our eyes the fact that we have so many hairstyles in this data set also opens up the possibility of editing which is always quite a treat for artists working in the industry the main limitation is a poorer reconstruction of regions that are not visible in the input photograph but I think that goes without saying it is slightly ameliorated by the fact that the public repositories contain hairstyles that Mak sense so we can expect results of reasonable quality even for the regions we haven't seen in the input photograph as always please let me know Below in the comments section whether you have found everything understandable in this episode was it easy to digest was there something that was not easy to follow your feedback is always is greatly appreciated thanks for watching and for your generous support and I'll see you next time oh
