Google’s GNM Head models the full human head, including eyes and tongue
google · hf · 2026-07-28
Google introduces GNM Head, a generative anthropometric model of the human head.
- The model goes beyond outer facial geometry and includes the head, face, neck, eyeballs, teeth, and tongue.
- It is trained on a large database of high-resolution 3D scans plus anatomy-specific artist-made samples.
- The report explains the data provenance, architecture, and specialized sub-models for ocular and intra-oral structures.
- GNM is reported to achieve state-of-the-art fitting performance on target 3D face scans.
- The complete framework is released publicly to support community work in graphics and vision.
