WildCap: Facial Appearance Capture in the Wild
via Hybrid Inverse Rendering
arxiv
Overview

We propose a novel method for low-cost high-quality facial appearance capture. Given a single smartphone video captured in the wild (a big improvement of our previous work CoRA and DoRA), our method can reconstruct high-quality facial assets, which can be exported to common graphics engines like Blender for photo-realistic rendering. As shown in the figure above, our method can faithfully reconstruct detail patterns on different facial regions. See our video for more illustrations and results!
