• Title: Pruning-based Topology Refinement of 3D Mesh using a 2D Alpha Mask
• Authors: Ga\"etan Landreau and Mohamed Tamaazousti
• Abstract summary: We present a method to refine the topology of any 3D mesh through a face-pruning strategy. Our solution leverages a differentiable that renders each face as a 2D soft map. Because our module is agnostic to the network that produces the 3D mesh, it can be easily plugged into any self-supervised image-based 3D reconstruction pipeline.

• Abstract: Image-based 3D reconstruction has increasingly stunning results over the past few years with the latest improvements in computer vision and graphics. Geometry and topology are two fundamental concepts when dealing with 3D mesh structures. But the latest often remains a side issue in the 3D mesh-based reconstruction literature. Indeed, performing per-vertex elementary displacements over a 3D sphere mesh only impacts its geometry and leaves the topological structure unchanged and fixed. Whereas few attempts propose to update the geometry and the topology, all need to lean on costly 3D ground-truth to determine the faces/edges to prune. We present in this work a method that aims to refine the topology of any 3D mesh through a face-pruning strategy that extensively relies upon 2D alpha masks and camera pose information. Our solution leverages a differentiable renderer that renders each face as a 2D soft map. Its pixel intensity reflects the probability of being covered during the rendering process by such a face. Based on the 2D soft-masks available, our method is thus able to quickly highlight all the incorrectly rendered faces for a given viewpoint. Because our module is agnostic to the network that produces the 3D mesh, it can be easily plugged into any self-supervised image-based (either synthetic or natural) 3D reconstruction pipeline to get complex meshes with a non-spherical topology.

  3D content creation via text-driven stylization has played a fundamental challenge to multimedia and graphics community. We propose a new 3DStyle-Diffusion model that triggers fine-grained stylization of 3D meshes with additional controllable appearance and geometric guidance from 2D Diffusion models.

  StyleGAN has achieved great progress in 2D face reconstruction and semantic editing via image inversion and latent editing. A corresponding generic 3D GAN inversion framework is still missing, limiting the applications of 3D face reconstruction and semantic editing. We study the challenging problem of 3D GAN inversion where a latent code is predicted given a single face image to faithfully recover its 3D shapes and detailed textures.

  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.

• An Effective Loss Function for Generating 3D Models from Single 2D Image without Rendering [0.0]
  Differentiable rendering is a very successful technique that applies to a Single-View 3D Reconstruction. Currents use losses based on pixels between a rendered image of some 3D reconstructed object and ground-truth images from given matched viewpoints to optimise parameters of the 3D shape. We propose a novel effective loss function that evaluates how well the projections of reconstructed 3D point clouds cover the ground truth object's silhouette.
