• Title: Canonical 3D Deformer Maps: Unifying parametric and non-parametric methods for dense weakly-supervised category reconstruction
• Authors: David Novotny, Roman Shapovalov, Andrea Vedaldi
• Abstract summary: We propose a new representation of the 3D shape of common object categories that can be learned from a collection of 2D images of independent objects. Our method builds in a novel way on concepts from parametric deformation models, non-parametric 3D reconstruction, and canonical embeddings. It achieves state-of-the-art results in dense 3D reconstruction on public in-the-wild datasets of faces, cars, and birds.

• Abstract: We propose the Canonical 3D Deformer Map, a new representation of the 3D shape of common object categories that can be learned from a collection of 2D images of independent objects. Our method builds in a novel way on concepts from parametric deformation models, non-parametric 3D reconstruction, and canonical embeddings, combining their individual advantages. In particular, it learns to associate each image pixel with a deformation model of the corresponding 3D object point which is canonical, i.e. intrinsic to the identity of the point and shared across objects of the category. The result is a method that, given only sparse 2D supervision at training time, can, at test time, reconstruct the 3D shape and texture of objects from single views, while establishing meaningful dense correspondences between object instances. It also achieves state-of-the-art results in dense 3D reconstruction on public in-the-wild datasets of faces, cars, and birds.

  We introduce the Dual Point Maps (DualPM), where a pair of point maps is extracted from the same image, one associating pixels to their 3D locations on the object, and the other to a canonical version of the object at rest pose. We show that 3D reconstruction and 3D pose estimation reduce to the prediction of the DualPMs.

  Reconstructing the underlying 3D surface of an object from a single image is a challenging problem.

Our approach achieves state-of-the-art reconstruction performance across several real-world datasets.

  We present a new framework for learning 3D object shapes and dense cross-object 3D correspondences from just an unaligned category-specific image collection. The 3D shapes are generated implicitly as deformations to a category-specific signed distance field. Our approach, dubbed TARS, achieves state-of-the-art reconstruction fidelity on several datasets.

  We propose an end-to-end method that simultaneously detects 2D keypoints from an image and lifts them to 3D. The proposed method learns both 2D detection and 3D lifting only from 2D keypoints annotations. In addition to being end-to-end in image to 3D learning, our method also handles objects from multiple categories using a single neural network.

  We contribute DensePose 3D, a method that can learn such reconstructions in a weakly supervised fashion from 2D image annotations only. Because it does not require 3D scans, DensePose 3D can be used for learning a wide range of articulated categories such as different animal species. We show significant improvements compared to state-of-the-art non-rigid structure-from-motion baselines on both synthetic and real data on categories of humans and animals.

  We propose a novel framework for fine-grained object recognition that learns to recover object variation in 3D space from a single image. We represent an object as a composition of 3D shape and its appearance, while eliminating the effect of camera viewpoint. By incorporating 3D shape and appearance jointly in a deep representation, our method learns the discriminative representation of the object.
