A Perceptual Shape Loss for Monocular 3D Face Reconstruction

In this work
we propose a new loss function for monocular face capture, inspired by how humans would perceive the quality of a 3D face
reconstruction given a particular image. It is widely known that shading provides a strong indicator for 3D shape in the human
visual system. As such, our new ‘perceptual’ shape loss aims to judge the quality of a 3D face estimate using only shading cues.
