Self-Supervised Monocular 3D Face Reconstruction by Occlusion-Aware Multi-view Geometry Consistency(ECCV 2020)

This is an official python implementation of MGCNet. This is the pre-print version https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.12494.

Running code

1. Code + Requirement + thirdlib

We run the code with python3.7, tensorflow 1.13

git clone --recursive https://github.com/jiaxiangshang/MGCNet.git
cd MGCNet
(sudo) pip install -r requirement.txt

(1) For render loss(reconstruction loss), we use the differential renderer named tf_mesh_render. I find many issue happens here, so let's make this more clear. The tf_mesh_render does not return triangle id for each pixel after rasterise, we do this by our self and add these changes as submodule to mgcnet.

(2) Then how to compile tf_mesh_render, my setting is bazel==10.1, gcc==5.*, the compile command is

bazel build ...

The gcc/g++ version higher than 5.* will bring problems, a good solution is virtual environment with a gcc maybe 5.5. If the The gcc/g++ version is 4.* that you can try to change the compile cmd in BUILD file, about the flag -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0 or -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=1 for 4.* or 5.*

2.Model

  1. 3dmm model + network weight

    We include BFM09/BFM09 expression, BFM09 face region from DengYu, BFM09 uv from 3DMMasSTN into a whole 3dmm model. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RkTgcSGNs2VglHriDnyr6ZS5pbnZrUnV/view?usp=sharing Extract this file to /MGCNet/model

  2. pretain

    This include the pretrail model for the Resnet50 and vgg pretrain model for Facenet. Extract this file to /MGCNet/pretain

3.Data

  1. data demo: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Du3iRO0GNncZsbK4K5sboSeCUv0-SnRV/view?usp=sharing

    Extract this file to /MGCNet/data, we can not provide all datas, as it is too large and the license of MPIE dataset not allow me to do this.

  2. data: landmark ground truth

    The detection method from https://github.com/1adrianb/2D-and-3D-face-alignment, and we use the SFD face detector

  3. data: skin probability

    I get this part code from Yu DENG(t-yudeng@microsoft.com), maybe you can ask help from him.

4.Testing

  1. test_image.py This is used to inference a single unprocessed image(cmd in file). This file can also render the images(geometry, texture, shading,multi-pose), like above or in our paper(read code), which makes visualization and comparison more convenient.

  2. preprocess All the preprocess has been included in 'test_image.py', we show the outline here. (1) face detection and face alignment are package in ./tools/preprocess/detect_landmark,py. (2) face alignment by affine transformation to warp the unprocess image. Test all the images in a folder can follow this preprocess.

5.Training

  1. train_unsupervise.py

Useful tools(keep updating)

  1. face alignment tools
  2. 3D face render tools.
  3. Camera augment for rendering.
