Claim 16:
17. A method comprising:
during a setup period:
accessing a target image depicting a face of a first user;
deriving characteristics of a target set of facial features detected in the target image;
initializing a target set of face model coefficients for the first user;
tuning the target set of face model coefficients to produce a synthetic test image approximating the face of the first user depicted in the target image when the target set of face model coefficients and characteristics of the target set of facial features are loaded into a synthetic face generator; and
generating a first face model, associated with the first user, based on the target set of face model coefficients; and

during an operating period succeeding the setup period:
accessing a first frame depicting the face of the first user;
deriving characteristics of a first set of facial features detected in the first frame; and
generating a first synthetic face image based on characteristics of the first set of facial features, the first face model, and the synthetic face generator.
