High-Quality Facial Albedo Generation for 3D Face Reconstruction from a Single Image using a Coarse-to-Fine Approach

Facial texture generation is crucial for high-fidelity 3D face reconstruction from a single image. However, existing methods struggle to generate UV albedo maps with high-frequency details. To address this challenge, we propose a novel end-to-end coarse-to-fine approach for UV albedo map generation. Our method first utilizes a UV Albedo Parametric Model (UVAPM), driven by low-dimensional coefficients, to generate coarse albedo maps with skin tones and low-frequency texture details. To capture high-frequency details, we train a detail generator using a decoupled albedo map dataset, producing high-resolution albedo maps. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our method can generate high-fidelity textures from a single image, outperforming existing methods in terms of texture quality and realism. The code and pre-trained model are publicly available atthis https URL, facilitating reproducibility and further research.
