• Authors: Ethan Weber, Riley Peterlinz, Rohan Mathur, Frederik Warburg, Alexei A. Efros, Angjoo Kanazawa,
• Abstract summary: We focus our analysis on hand-drawn images from cartoons and anime. Many cartoons are created by artists without a 3D rendering engine, which means that any new image of a scene is hand-drawn. We correct for 2D drawing inconsistencies to recover a plausible 3D structure such that the newly warped drawings are consistent with each other.

• Abstract: In this work, we recover the underlying 3D structure of non-geometrically consistent scenes. We focus our analysis on hand-drawn images from cartoons and anime. Many cartoons are created by artists without a 3D rendering engine, which means that any new image of a scene is hand-drawn. The hand-drawn images are usually faithful representations of the world, but only in a qualitative sense, since it is difficult for humans to draw multiple perspectives of an object or scene 3D consistently. Nevertheless, people can easily perceive 3D scenes from inconsistent inputs! In this work, we correct for 2D drawing inconsistencies to recover a plausible 3D structure such that the newly warped drawings are consistent with each other. Our pipeline consists of a user-friendly annotation tool, camera pose estimation, and image deformation to recover a dense structure. Our method warps images to obey a perspective camera model, enabling our aligned results to be plugged into novel-view synthesis reconstruction methods to experience cartoons from viewpoints never drawn before.

  We propose a novel neural reconstruction method that reconstructs scenes using sparse depth under the plane constraints without 3D supervision. We introduce a signed distance function field, a color field, and a probability field to represent a scene. We optimize these fields to reconstruct the scene by using differentiable ray marching with accessible 2D images as supervision.

  2D generative models often suffer from undesirable artifacts when rendering images from different camera viewpoints.

We propose an animatable 3D-aware GAN for multiview consistent face animation generation.

  We propose a practical problem setting to estimate 3D pose and shape of animals given only a few in-the-wild images of a particular animal species. We do not assume any form of 2D or 3D ground-truth annotations, nor do we leverage any multi-view or temporal information. Following these insights, we propose LASSIE, a novel optimization framework which discovers 3D parts in a self-supervised manner.

The resulting system converts 2D images of different virtual or real images into complete 3D scenes, learned only from 2D images of those scenes.

  Despite great progress achieved in 3D reconstruction from distortion-free line drawings, little effort has been made to reconstruct 3D shapes from free-hand sketches. We aim to enhance the power of sketches in 3D-related applications such as interactive design and VR/AR games. A major challenge for free-hand sketch 3D reconstruction comes from the insufficient training data and free-hand sketch diversity.
