Neural Face Editing with Intrinsic Image Disentangling
Traditional face editing methods often require a number of sophisticated and
task specific algorithms to be applied one after the other --- a process that
is tedious, fragile, and computationally intensive. In this paper, we propose
an end-to-end generative adversarial network that infers a face-specific
disentangled representation of intrinsic face properties, including shape (i.e.
normals), albedo, and lighting, and an alpha matte. We show that this network
can be trained on "in-the-wild" images by incorporating an in-network
physically-based image formation module and appropriate loss functions. Our
disentangling latent representation allows for semantically relevant edits,
where one aspect of facial appearance can be manipulated while keeping
orthogonal properties fixed, and we demonstrate its use for a number of facial
editing applications.Comment: CVPR 2017 ora
Extreme 3D Face Reconstruction: Seeing Through Occlusions
Existing single view, 3D face reconstruction methods can produce beautifully
detailed 3D results, but typically only for near frontal, unobstructed
viewpoints. We describe a system designed to provide detailed 3D
reconstructions of faces viewed under extreme conditions, out of plane
rotations, and occlusions. Motivated by the concept of bump mapping, we propose
a layered approach which decouples estimation of a global shape from its
mid-level details (e.g., wrinkles). We estimate a coarse 3D face shape which
acts as a foundation and then separately layer this foundation with details
represented by a bump map. We show how a deep convolutional encoder-decoder can
be used to estimate such bump maps. We further show how this approach naturally
extends to generate plausible details for occluded facial regions. We test our
approach and its components extensively, quantitatively demonstrating the
invariance of our estimated facial details. We further provide numerous
qualitative examples showing that our method produces detailed 3D face shapes
in viewing conditions where existing state of the art often break down.Comment: Accepted to CVPR'18. Previously titled: "Extreme 3D Face
