单张图像三维人脸重建方法综述

In recent years, 3D face reconstruction task, as an important part of“digital human”technology, has received great attention from both academia and industry. In particular, 3D face reconstruction task based on a single image has made great progress by fully combining traditional camera model, illumination model, 3D face statistical deformation model with the deep convolutional neural network and deep generative models. This paper focuses on the single-image 3D face reconstruction problem, and divides the existing research works into two categories based on implicit space coding and explicit space regression. The first type of research works optimize the basis coefficient solution and loss function design of the basic 3D face statistical model to improve the reconstruction effect, which has the advantage of robustness in face topology change but lacks detailed features. The second type of research works represent 3D faces in the forms of multiple data in explicit space and regress them directly by deep networks, which can usually obtain more personalized 3D face detail features and have better robustness to interference factors such as illumination and occlusion. Furthermore, based on the commonly used datasets and evaluation metrics, this paper fully explores and compares the advantages and disadvantages of some typical methods of both categories. Finally, it summarizes the whole paper and points out the main challenges and future development trends of the single-image based 3D face reconstruction task.
