AI Learns Real-Time 3D Face Reconstruction Two Minute Papers #245

The paper "Joint 3D Face Reconstruction and Dense Alignment with Position Map Regression Network" and its source code is available here: https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.07835 A few comments with some of the best applications: Lowell Camp - "This technology could be used for consumer-budget markerless facial motion capture, and if a follow-up paper enhances it with audio analysis for tongue posing, then it would require very little touch-up beyond a little temporal filtering." Evan - "Could this be used for some kind of automatic lip-reading system for deaf viewers to view live events?" Idjles Erle - "Reconstructing ancestors faces from photos that are 150 years old. Working out from old photos who is more likely rested to whom."
