MICA: Towards Metrical Reconstruction of Human Faces

Mica — Metrical 3D reconstruction of a human face from a single photograph.

Face reconstruction and tracking is a building block of numerous applications in AR/VR, human-machine interaction, as well as medical applications. Most of these applications rely on a metrically correct prediction of the shape, especially, when the reconstructed subject is put into a metrical context. Thus, we present MICA, a novel metrical face reconstruction method that combines face recognition with supervised face shape learning.
