An Implicit Physical Face Model Driven by Expression and Style We propose a new face model based on a data-driven implicit neural physics model that can be driven by both expression and style separately. At the core, we present a framework for learning implicit...

A Perceptual Shape Loss for Monocular 3D Face Reconstruction In this work, we propose a new loss function for monocular face capture, inspired by how humans would perceive the quality of a 3D face reconstruction given a particular image. It is widely known that...
