  • Statistical face model with PCA basis for shape, expression and pose, and jaw and neck joints
  • 300-dimensional shape basis from 3800 scans

3D Face Reconstruction from Dense Landmarks

  • Energy based method for face reconstruction with 703 landmarks trained on synthetic data
  • First half of the pipeline estimates 2D landmarks, second half of the pipeline fits the 3D model
  • Fitting of 3D model requires no image supervision

3D Face Reconstruction with Weakly Supervised Learning

  • This work leverages a hybrid loss function for weakly-supervised learning which takes into account both low-level and perception-level information for supervision
  • Does not require 3D facial data for training as the loss is calculated between the rendered 2D Image from the model’s 3D Face and the input 2D Image
