Abstract

We present FaceVerse, a fine-grained 3D Neural Face Model, which is built from hybrid East Asian face datasets containing 60K fused RGB-D images and 2K high-fidelity 3D head scan models. A novel coarse-to-fine structure is proposed to take better advantage of our hybrid dataset. In the coarse module, we generate a base parametric model from large-scale RGB-D images, which is able to predict accurate rough 3D face models in different genders, ages, etc. Then in the fine module, a conditional StyleGAN architecture trained with high-fidelity scan models is introduced to enrich elaborate facial geometric and texture details. Note that different from previous methods, our base and detailed modules are both changeable, which enables an innovative application of adjusting both the basic attributes and the facial details of 3D face models. Furthermore, we propose a single-image fitting framework based on differentiable rendering. Rich experiments show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods.

Requirements for v1&v2

You need to compile the ops provided by stylegan2-pytorch using ninja:

cd third_libs/stylegan_ops
python3 setup.py install

Single-image fitting for v1

Reconstructing a 3D face from a single image. There are three processes: (a) reconstructed by PCA model; (b) refined by the detailed generator; (c) refined by the expression generator.

An example input with a image folder (sampled from the FFHQ dataset):

python3 fit_images.py --version 1 --input example/images --res_folder example/image_results --save_ply --align

Note: the detailed refinement is based on differentiable rendering, which is quite time-consuming (over 10 minutes). --align is used to crop the input image.

Video-based tracking using our PCA base model for v1&v2

offline_tracking

Offline tracking input with a video (our code will crop the face region using the first frame, --use_simplification can be only used for version >= 2):

python tracking_offline.py --input example/videos/test.mp4 --res_folder example/video_results --version 2

Online tracking using your PC camera (our code will crop the face region using the first frame, --use_simplification can be only used for version >= 2):

python tracking_online.py  --version 2

online_tracking

Note: the tracking is based on differentiable rendering and only has 2 fps.
