Zusammenfassung:
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.
