We propose a parametric model that maps free-view images into a vector space of coded facial shape, expression and appearance using a neural radiance field, namely Morphable Facial NeRF. MoFaNeRF can be used to synthesize free-view images by fitting to a single image or generating from a random code. The synthesized face is morphable that can be rigged to any expressions and be edited to any shapes or appearances.

This paper presents a novel method to recover detailed avatar from a single image. A learning-based framework is proposed to combine the robustness of the parametric model with the flexibility of free-form 3D deformation. The neural networks are used to refine the 3D shape in a Hierarchical Mesh Deformation (HMD) framework, and restore detailed human body shapes with complete textures beyond skinned models.

We explore a novel direction to apply the learningbased framework, consisting of a pre-processing module for point cloud voxelization, scaling and partition, compression network for rate-distortion optimized representation, and a post-processing module for point cloud
reconstruction and rendering, to represent point clouds geometry using compact features with the state-of-the-art compression efficiency.

This paper presents a self-supervised method that can be trained on videos without known depth, which makes training data collection simple and improves the generalization of the learned network. The self-supervised learning is achieved by minimizing a photo-consistency loss between a video frame and its neighboring frames.
