Fake It Without Making It: Conditioned Face Generation for Accurate 3D Face Reconstruction

no code implementations25 Jul 2023 Will Rowan, Patrik Huber, Nick Pears, Andrew Keeling

Our synthesis method conditions Stable Diffusion on depth maps sampled from the FLAME 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) of the human face, allowing us to generate a diverse set of shape-consistent facial images that is designed to be balanced in race and gender.

Text2Face: A Multi-Modal 3D Face Model

no code implementations5 Mar 2023 Will Rowan, Patrik Huber, Nick Pears, Andrew Keeling

We present the first 3D morphable modelling approach, whereby 3D face shape can be directly and completely defined using a textual prompt.

Laplacian ICP for Progressive Registration of 3D Human Head Meshes

no code implementations4 Feb 2023 Nick Pears, Hang Dai, Will Smith, Hao Sun

We present a progressive 3D registration framework that is a highly-efficient variant of classical non-rigid Iterative Closest Points (N-ICP).

Accurate Gaze Estimation using an Active-gaze Morphable Model

no code implementations30 Jan 2023 Hao Sun, Nick Pears

Rather than regressing gaze direction directly from images, we show that adding a 3D shape model can: i) improve gaze estimation accuracy, ii) perform well with lower resolution inputs and iii) provide a richer understanding of the eye-region and its constituent gaze system.

Non-rigid 3D Shape Registration using an Adaptive Template

no code implementations21 Mar 2018 Hang Dai, Nick Pears, William Smith

We present a new fully-automatic non-rigid 3D shape registration (morphing) framework comprising (1) a new 3D landmarking and pose normalisation method; (2) an adaptive shape template method to accelerate the convergence of registration algorithms and achieve a better final shape correspondence and (3) a new iterative registration method that combines Iterative Closest Points with Coherent Point Drift (CPD) to achieve a more stable and accurate correspondence establishment than standard CPD.

A 3D Morphable Model of Craniofacial Shape and Texture Variation

no code implementations ICCV 2017 Hang Dai, Nick Pears, William A. P. Smith, Christian Duncan

We present a fully automatic pipeline to train 3D Morphable Models (3DMMs), with contributions in pose normalisation, dense correspondence using both shape and texture information, and high quality, high resolution texture mapping.

Automatic 3D modelling of craniofacial form

no code implementations21 Jan 2016 Nick Pears, Christian Duncan

Three-dimensional models of craniofacial variation over the general population are useful for assessing pre- and post-operative head shape when treating various craniofacial conditions, such as craniosynostosis.
