FML: Face Model Learning from Videos
Monocular image-based 3D reconstruction of faces is a long-standing problem
in computer vision. Since image data is a 2D projection of a 3D face, the
resulting depth ambiguity makes the problem ill-posed. Most existing methods
rely on data-driven priors that are built from limited 3D face scans. In
contrast, we propose multi-frame video-based self-supervised training of a deep
network that (i) learns a face identity model both in shape and appearance
while (ii) jointly learning to reconstruct 3D faces. Our face model is learned
using only corpora of in-the-wild video clips collected from the Internet. This
virtually endless source of training data enables learning of a highly general
3D face model. In order to achieve this, we propose a novel multi-frame
consistency loss that ensures consistent shape and appearance across multiple
frames of a subject's face, thus minimizing depth ambiguity. At test time we
can use an arbitrary number of frames, so that we can perform both monocular as
well as multi-frame reconstruction.Comment: CVPR 2019 (Oral). Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SG2BwxCw0lQ,

Unsupervised Domain Adaptation for 3D Keypoint Estimation via View Consistency
In this paper, we introduce a novel unsupervised domain adaptation technique
for the task of 3D keypoint prediction from a single depth scan or image. Our
key idea is to utilize the fact that predictions from different views of the
same or similar objects should be consistent with each other. Such view
consistency can provide effective regularization for keypoint prediction on
unlabeled instances. In addition, we introduce a geometric alignment term to
regularize predictions in the target domain. The resulting loss function can be
effectively optimized via alternating minimization. We demonstrate the
effectiveness of our approach on real datasets and present experimental results
showing that our approach is superior to state-of-the-art general-purpose
domain adaptation techniques.Comment: ECCV 201
