• RingNet-Learning to Regress 3D Face Shape and Expression from an Image without 3D Supervision (23 Apr 2021)
  

  This is my reading note for Learning to Regress 3D Face Shape and Expression from an Image without 3D Supervision (code). The paper is also called RingNet and was published in CVPR 2019. The paper solves the problems of 3D face reconstruction from a single 2D image and the training requires no 3D ground truth. To this end, RingNet leverages multiple images of a person and automatically detected 2D face features. It uses a novel loss that encourages the face shape to be similar when the identity is the same and different for different people. This is based on observation that an individual’s face shape is constant across images, regardless of expres- sion, pose, lighting, etc.
