• Title: Survey on 3D face reconstruction from uncalibrated images
• Authors: Araceli Morales, Gemma Piella and Federico M. Sukno
• Abstract summary: Despite providing a more accurate representation of the face, 3D facial images are more complex to acquire than 2D pictures. The 3D-from-2D face reconstruction problem is ill-posed, thus prior knowledge is needed to restrict the solutions space. We review 3D face reconstruction methods proposed in the last decade, focusing on those that only use 2D pictures captured under uncontrolled conditions.

• Abstract: Recently, a lot of attention has been focused on the incorporation of 3D data into face analysis and its applications. Despite providing a more accurate representation of the face, 3D facial images are more complex to acquire than 2D pictures. As a consequence, great effort has been invested in developing systems that reconstruct 3D faces from an uncalibrated 2D image. However, the 3D-from-2D face reconstruction problem is ill-posed, thus prior knowledge is needed to restrict the solutions space. In this work, we review 3D face reconstruction methods proposed in the last decade, focusing on those that only use 2D pictures captured under uncontrolled conditions. We present a classification of the proposed methods based on the technique used to add prior knowledge, considering three main strategies, namely, statistical model fitting, photometry, and deep learning, and reviewing each of them separately. In addition, given the relevance of statistical 3D facial models as prior knowledge, we explain the construction procedure and provide a list of the most popular publicly available 3D facial models. After the exhaustive study of 3D-from-2D face reconstruction approaches, we observe that the deep learning strategy is rapidly growing since the last few years, becoming the standard choice in replacement of the widespread statistical model fitting. Unlike the other two strategies, photometry-based methods have decreased in number due to the need for strong underlying assumptions that limit the quality of their reconstructions compared to statistical model fitting and deep learning methods. The review also identifies current challenges and suggests avenues for future research.

  3D face reconstruction and face alignment are two fundamental and highly related topics in computer vision. Recently, some works start to use deep learning models to estimate the 3DMM coefficients to reconstruct 3D face geometry. To address this problem, some end-to-end methods, which can completely bypass the calculation of 3DMM coefficients, are proposed.

  Reconstructing a 3D hand from a single-view RGB image is challenging due to various hand configurations and depth ambiguity. We propose S2HAND, a self-supervised 3D hand reconstruction network that can jointly estimate pose, shape, texture, and the camera viewpoint. For the first time, we demonstrate the feasibility of training an accurate 3D hand reconstruction network without relying on manual annotations.
