Discovering Geometric Biases in 3D Face Reconstruction: A Curvature-Aware Spectral Framework for Fairness Evaluation

Read the original on Hugging Face Trending Papers →

3D Morphable Models (3DMMs) remain the standard parametric shape priors for many state-of-the-art 3D face reconstruction algorithms. However, as these models are derived from a finite number of 3D face samples, they inherit the morphological biases of their training data, potentially limiting their generalizability across diverse global populations.

TokenMatch: 3D Mesh Correspondence Transformer with Curvature-Guided Tokenisation

TokenMatch is a transformer-based model that estimates 3D shape correspondences by adaptively tokenising meshes into curvature-guided patches. Trained only on the BeCoS partial-to-partial dataset, it generalises to full-shape matching without retraining, using self‑ and cross‑attention to learn patch‑ and point‑level relations. Evaluated on CP2P, PSMAL, BeCoS, FAUST, SCAPE, and SHREC'19, TokenMatch consistently outperforms existing methods in mean geodesic error and intersection‑over‑union while achieving sub‑second inference speeds.

GNM Head: A Generative aNthropometric Model of the human head

The paper introduces GNM Head, a generative anthropometric model that extends beyond traditional head models by including detailed ocular and intra‑oral structures such as eyeballs, teeth, and tongue. Built from a large collection of high‑resolution 3D scans and artist‑crafted samples, GNM offers improved geometric fidelity and state‑of‑the‑art fitting performance for target 3D face scans. The authors release the full framework publicly to support further research and development.
