• Authors: Jihyun Lee, Minhyuk Sung, Hyunjin Kim, Tae-Kyun Kim
• Abstract summary: We present a 3D-aware image deformation method with minimal restrictions on shape category and deformation type. We take a supervised learning-based approach to predict the shape Laplacian of the underlying volume of a 3D reconstruction represented as a point cloud. In the experiments, we present our results of deforming 2D character and clothed human images.

• Abstract: We propose a framework that can deform an object in a 2D image as it exists in 3D space. Most existing methods for 3D-aware image manipulation are limited to (1) only changing the global scene information or depth, or (2) manipulating an object of specific categories. In this paper, we present a 3D-aware image deformation method with minimal restrictions on shape category and deformation type. While our framework leverages 2D-to-3D reconstruction, we argue that reconstruction is not sufficient for realistic deformations due to the vulnerability to topological errors. Thus, we propose to take a supervised learning-based approach to predict the shape Laplacian of the underlying volume of a 3D reconstruction represented as a point cloud. Given the deformation energy calculated using the predicted shape Laplacian and user-defined deformation handles (e.g., keypoints), we obtain bounded biharmonic weights to model plausible handle-based image deformation. In the experiments, we present our results of deforming 2D character and clothed human images. We also quantitatively show that our approach can produce more accurate deformation weights compared to alternative methods (i.e., mesh reconstruction and point cloud Laplacian methods).

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

  3D Morphable Model (3DMM) fitting has widely benefited face analysis due to its strong 3D priori. Previous reconstructed 3D faces suffer from degraded visual verisimilitude due to the loss of fine-grained geometry. This paper proposes a complete solution to capture the personalized shape so that the reconstructed shape looks identical to the corresponding person.

  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.
