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.

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.

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.

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.
