 Dear Fellow Scholars, this is two minute papers with Karo Ejona Efeira. How could it be to be able to place a character representing us in a digital film or a computer game? Of course, it would clearly be an extremely laborious task to digitize the 3D geometry and the Albedo map of our face. This Albedo map means a texture, a colored pattern that describes how our skin reflects and absorbs light. Capturing such a representation is clearly a very lengthy and expensive process, so get this completely crazy idea. This technique creates this full digital representation of any face from no more than one simple photograph. We can even get historical figures in our digital universe, all we need is one photograph of them. And now, feast your eyes on these incredible results. After taking a photograph, this technique creates two of these Albedo maps. One is a complete, low-frequency map which records the entirety of the face but only contains the rough details. The other Albedo map contains finer details, but in return, it's incomplete. Do you remember the textures synthesis methods that we discussed earlier in the series? The input was a tiny patch of image with a repetitive structure and after learning the statistical properties of these structures, it was possible to continue them indefinitely. The key insight is that we can also do something akin to that here as well. We take this incomplete Albedo map and try to synthesize the missing details. Pretty amazing idea indeed. The authors of the paper invoke a classical learning algorithm, a convolutional neural network to accomplish that. The deeper the neural network we use, the more high frequency details appear on the outputs or in other words, the crisper the image we get. In the paper, you will find a detailed description of their crowdsource user study that was used to validate this technique, including the user interface and the questions being asked. There are also some comparisons against patch match. One of the landmark techniques for texture synthesis that we have also talked about in an earlier episode. It's pretty amazing to see these two-minute papers knowledge-based grow and get more and more intertwined. I hope you're enjoying the process as much as I do.
