Hybrid Face Reflectance, Illumination, and Shape From a Single Image

We propose HyFRIS-Net to jointly estimate the hybrid reflectance and illumination models, as well as the refined face shape from a single unconstrained face image in a pre-defined texture space. The proposed hybrid reflectance and illumination representation ensure photometric face appearance modeling in both parametric and non-parametric spaces for efficient learning. While forcing the reflectance consistency constraint for the same person and face identity constraint for different persons, our approach recovers an occlusion-free face albedo with disambiguated color from the illumination color. Our network is trained in a self-evolving manner to achieve general applicability on real-world data. We conduct comprehensive qualitative and quantitative evaluations with state-of-the-art methods to demonstrate the advantages of HyFRIS-Net in modeling photo-realistic face albedo, illumination, and shape.
