Example-based Skin Wrinkle Displacement Maps

Abstract

We present an algorithm for generating procedural displacement maps for wrinkle patterns measured from photographs or scans. These displacement maps can contain wrinkle patterns that appear at the meso- and microscale, and are modeled using several spatially varying parameters such as the size, shape and distribution of each individual skin wrinkle. We present an algorithm to measure the parameters of skin wrinkle patterns, and show how to adapt the measured parameters to generate displacement maps with similar properties for 3D models other than the one measured. Lastly, we evaluate the quality of the generated maps by comparing them to maps acquired by scanning human skin.
