• Abstract summary: We present the first approach to use diffusion models as a prior for highly accurate 3D facial BRDF reconstruction from a single image. In contrast to existing methods, we directly acquire the observed texture from the input image, thus, resulting in more faithful and consistent estimation.

• Abstract: Following the remarkable success of diffusion models on image generation, recent works have also demonstrated their impressive ability to address a number of inverse problems in an unsupervised way, by properly constraining the sampling process based on a conditioning input. Motivated by this, in this paper, we present the first approach to use diffusion models as a prior for highly accurate 3D facial BRDF reconstruction from a single image. We start by leveraging a high-quality UV dataset of facial reflectance (diffuse and specular albedo and normals), which we render under varying illumination settings to simulate natural RGB textures and, then, train an unconditional diffusion model on concatenated pairs of rendered textures and reflectance components. At test time, we fit a 3D morphable model to the given image and unwrap the face in a partial UV texture. By sampling from the diffusion model, while retaining the observed texture part intact, the model inpaints not only the self-occluded areas but also the unknown reflectance components, in a single sequence of denoising steps. In contrast to existing methods, we directly acquire the observed texture from the input image, thus, resulting in more faithful and consistent reflectance estimation. Through a series of qualitative and quantitative comparisons, we demonstrate superior performance in both texture completion as well as reflectance reconstruction tasks.

  We present ConsistentDreamer, where we first generate a set of fixed multi-view prior images and sample random views between them. Thereby, we limit the discrepancies between the views guided by the SDS loss and ensure a consistent rough shape. In each iteration, we also use our generated multi-view prior images for fine-detail reconstruction.

  We present an approach that produces a simple, compact, and actionable 3D world representation by means of 3D primitives.

We show that the resulting textured primitives faithfully reconstruct the input images and accurately model the visible 3D points.
