There are provided systems and methods for performing deformable-surface tracking based augmented reality image generation. In one implementation, such a system includes a hardware processor and a system memory storing an augmented reality three-dimensional image generator. The hardware processor is configured to execute the augmented reality three-dimensional image generator to receive image data corresponding to a two-dimensional surface, and to identify an image template corresponding to the two-dimensional surface based on the image data. In addition, the hardware processor is configured to execute the augmented reality three-dimensional image generator to determine a surface deformation of the two-dimensional surface. The hardware processor is further configured to execute the augmented reality three-dimensional image generator to generate an augmented reality three-dimensional image including at least one feature of the two-dimensional surface, based on the image template and the surface deformation of the two-dimensional surface.
