• Abstract summary: We propose a method for constructing generative models of 3D objects from a single 3D mesh. Our method produces a 3D morphable model that represents shape and albedo in terms of Gaussian processes. We show that our approach can be used to perform face recognition using only a single 3D scan.

• Abstract: We propose a method for constructing generative models of 3D objects from a single 3D mesh. Our method produces a 3D morphable model that represents shape and albedo in terms of Gaussian processes. We define the shape deformations in physical (3D) space and the albedo deformations as a combination of physical-space and color-space deformations. Whereas previous approaches have typically built 3D morphable models from multiple high-quality 3D scans through principal component analysis, we build 3D morphable models from a single scan or template. As we demonstrate in the face domain, these models can be used to infer 3D reconstructions from 2D data (inverse graphics) or 3D data (registration). Specifically, we show that our approach can be used to perform face recognition using only a single 3D scan (one scan total, not one per person), and further demonstrate how multiple scans can be incorporated to improve performance without requiring dense correspondence. Our approach enables the synthesis of 3D morphable models for 3D object categories where dense correspondence between multiple scans is unavailable. We demonstrate this by constructing additional 3D morphable models for fish and birds and use them to perform simple inverse rendering tasks. We share the code used to generate these models and to perform our inverse rendering and registration experiments.

  We present a multi-scale GAN-based model designed to capture the input shape's geometric features across a range of spatial scales. We train our generative model on a voxel pyramid of the reference shape, without the need of any external supervision or manual annotation. The resulting shapes present variations across different scales, and at the same time retain the global structure of the reference shape.

  We study the problem of shape generation in 3D mesh representation from a small number of color images with or without camera poses. We adopt to further improve the shape quality by leveraging cross-view information with a graph convolution network. Our model is robust to the quality of the initial mesh and the error of camera pose, and can be combined with a differentiable function for test-time optimization.

  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.
