Extreme 3D Face Reconstruction: Seeing Through Occlusions

<img src="extreme_3d_teaser.png" width="900px"/>

Please note that the main part of the code has been released, though we are still testing it to fix possible glitches. Thank you.

Python and C++ code for realistic 3D face modeling from single image using our shape and detail regression networks published in CVPR 2018 [1] (follow the link to our PDF which has many, many more reconstruction results.)

This page contains end-to-end demo code that estimates the 3D facial shape with realistic details directly from an unconstrained 2D face image. For a given input image, it produces standard ply files of the 3D face shape. It accompanies the deep networks described in our paper [1] and [2]. The occlusion recovery code, however, will be published in a future release. We also include demo code and data presented in [1].

Dependencies

Data requirements

Before compiling the code, please, make sure to have all the required data in the following specific folder:

Note that we modified the model files from the 3DMM-CNN paper. Therefore, if you generated these files before, you need to re-create them for this code.

Installation

There are 2 options below to compile our code:

Installation with Docker (recommended)

	docker build -t extreme-3dmm-docker .

Installation without Docker on Linux

The steps below have been tested on Ubuntu Linux only:

	sudo apt-get install -y libhdf5-serial-dev libboost-all-dev cmake libosmesa6-dev freeglut3-dev
	wget http://dlib.net/files/dlib-19.6.tar.bz2
	tar xvf dlib-19.6.tar.bz2
	cd dlib-19.6/
	mkdir build
	cd build
	cmake ..
	cmake --build . --config Release
	sudo make install
	cd ..
	pip install opencv-python torchvision scikit-image cvbase pandas mmdnn dlib
	mkdir build;
	cd build; \
	cmake -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RELEASE -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../demoCode ..;
	make;
	make install;
	cd ..

This code should generate TestBump in demoCode folder

Usage

Start docker container

If you compile our code with Docker, you need to start a Docker container to run our code. You also need to set up a shared folder to transfer input/output data between the host computer and the container.

	nvidia-docker run --rm -ti --ipc=host --privileged -v /home/ubuntu/shared:/shared extreme-3dmm-docker bash

Now folder /home/ubuntu/shared on your host computer will be mounted to folder /shared inside the container

3D face modeling with realistic details from a set of input images

$ Usage: python testBatchModel.py <inputList> <outputDir>

where the parameters are the following:

An example for <inputList> is demoCode/testImages.txt

<pre> ../data/test/03f245cb652c103e1928b1b27028fadd--smith-glasses-too-faced.jpg ../data/test/20140420_011855_News1-Apr-25.jpg .... </pre>

The output 3D models will be <outputDir>/<imageName>_<postfix>.ply with <postfix> = <modelType>_<poseType>. <modelType> can be "foundation", "withBump" (before soft-symmetry),"sparseFull" (soft-symmetry on the sparse mesh), and "final". <poseType> can be "frontal" or "aligned" (based on the estimated pose). The final 3D shape has <postfix> as "final_frontal". You can config the output models in code before compiling.

The PLY files can be displayed using standard off-the-shelf 3D (ply file) visualization software such as MeshLab.

Sample command:

	python testBatchModel.py testImages.txt /shared

Note that our occlusion recovery code is not included in this release.

Demo code and data in our paper

$ Usage: ./testPaperResults.sh

Before exiting the docker container, remember to save your output data to the shared folder.
