• Abstract: Modeling non-Lambertian effects such as facial specularity leads to a more realistic 3D Morphable Face Model. Existing works build parametric models for diffuse and specular albedo using Light Stage data. However, only diffuse and specular albedo cannot determine the full BRDF. In addition, the requirement of Light Stage data is hard to fulfill for the research communities. This paper proposes the first 3D morphable face reflectance model with spatially varying BRDF using only low-cost publicly-available data. We apply linear shiness weighting into parametric modeling to represent spatially varying specular intensity and shiness. Then an inverse rendering algorithm is developed to reconstruct the reflectance parameters from non-Light Stage data, which are used to train an initial morphable reflectance model. To enhance the model's generalization capability and expressive power, we further propose an update-by-reconstruction strategy to finetune it on an in-the-wild dataset. Experimental results show that our method obtains decent rendering results with plausible facial specularities. Our code is released \href{https://yxuhan.github.io/ReflectanceMM/index.html}{\textcolor{magenta}{here}}.

  MoSAR is a method for 3D avatar generation from monocular images. We propose a semi-supervised training scheme that improves generalization by learning from both light stage and in-the-wild datasets. We also introduce a new dataset, named FFHQ-UV-Intrinsics, the first public dataset providing intrinsic face attributes at scale.

We achieve state-of-the-art performance on standard benchmark Multi-PIE and can photorealistically relight in-the-wild images.

  We propose neural dual quaternion blend skinning (NeuDBS) to achieve 3D point deformation without skin-collapsing artifacts. In the endeavor to register 2D pixels across different frames, we establish a correspondence between canonical feature embeddings that encodes 3D points within the canonical space. Our approach can reconstruct 3D models for humans and animals with better qualitative and quantitative performance than state-of-the-art methods.

  We introduce a principled end-to-end reconstruction framework for natural images, where accurate ground-truth poses are not available. We leverage an unconditional 3D-aware generator, to which we apply a hybrid inversion scheme where a model produces a first guess of the solution. Our framework can de-render an image in as few as 10 steps, enabling its use in practical scenarios.
