Facebook Research has released technology to [create 3D models of people from photographs](https://shunsukesaito.github.io/PIFuHD/), reports [shirappu](https://tech.slashdot.org/~shirappu):

_The technology, called PIFuHD, takes photographs of people and reconstructs them in 3D. The tech works on deep neural networks with multi-level architecture that allows for high resolution and accuracy in 3D models even at low levels of memory. More is available [in the detail-heavy research paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2004.00452.pdf)._

 

_Applications for this kind of automated image digitization include medical imaging and virtual reality, and the researchers have [released a version of the model for users to try out themselves](https://github.com/facebookresearch/pifuhd) on Google Colab._
