Abstract: Face images with large poses are often very challenge for vision systems. This talk focuses on two relevant vision problems in analyzing human faces: face recognition, and 3D modeling. For large-pose face recognition, we address the fundamental problem of matching a frontal-view face image with a profile-view face, a task that human still outperforms machine in the era of deep learning. We develop a novel Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to simultaneously learn pose-invariant identity features and synthesize face images with arbitrary pose. For face modeling, we present a weakly supervised approach to learn a 3D face model from a large set of in-the-wild 2D face images, without the need of capturing 3D scans. We also extended this approach to 3D modeling for generic objects such as car and chair. In the end, we will briefly overview other research efforts in the Computer Vision Lab at Michigan State University, including autonomous driving, and low-level vision etc.
