3D model of Trump constructed based on a single 2D image

A 3D model of a human face with perfect features and realistic textures can now be constructed based on a single 2D image.

Researchers from the University of Southern California developed a system using deep neural networks to create everything from the color of skin, facial details and more using a high-resolution face database.

The authors have since created face models for people including Muhammad Ali, Hillary Clinton and President-elect Donald Trump.
