报告题目：Learning to Estimate 3D Human Pose and Shape from 2D Image
报告摘要：
Recovering 3D human pose is a challenging problem with many applications. It has been conditionally solved by motion capture systems or depth sensors. This talk will discuss the more challenging case of using a single RGB camera: going directly from 2D appearance to 3D geometry. While deep learning approaches have shown remarkable abilities to solve 2D vision problems, it is difficult for them to directly learn and predict 3D geometry due to the lack of training data and higher dimensionality and nonlinearity of the solution space. In this talk, I will introduce our recent efforts toward 3D human pose and shape prediction from a single image, which solve the aforementioned challenges by integrating deep learning with geometric models as well as end-to-end learning using weakly-annotated data and multi-view geometry.

报告题目：Alive Caricature from 2D to 3D
报告摘要：
Caricature is an art form that expresses subjects in abstract, simple and exaggerated views. While many caricatures are 2D images, this talk presents an algorithm for creating expressive 3D caricatures from 2D caricature images with minimum user interaction. The key idea of our approach is to introduce an intrinsic deformation representation that has the capability of extrapolation, enabling us to create a deformation space from standard face datasets, which maintains face constraints and meanwhile is sufficiently large for producing exaggerated face models. Built upon the proposed deformation representation, an optimization model is formulated to find the 3D caricature that captures the style of the 2D caricature image automatically. The experiments show that our approach has better capability in expressing caricatures than those fitting approaches directly using classical parametric face models such as 3DMM and FaceWareHouse. Moreover, our approach is based on standard face datasets and avoids constructing complicated 3D caricature training sets, which provides great flexibility in real applications.

报告题目：Face Aging with Identity-Preserved Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks
报告摘要：
Face aging is of great importance for cross-age recognition and entertainment related applications. However, the lack of labeled faces of the same person across a long age range makes it challenging. Because of different aging speed of different persons, our face aging approach aims at synthesizing a face whose target age lies in some given age group instead of synthesizing a face with a certain age. By grouping faces with target age together, the objective of face aging is equivalent to transferring aging patterns of faces within the target age group to the face whose aged face is to be synthesized. Meanwhile, the synthesized face should have the same identity with the input face. Thus we propose an Identity-Preserved Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (IPCGANs) framework, in which a Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks module functions as generating a face that looks realistic and is with the target age, an identity-preserved module preserves the identity information and an age classifier forces the generated face with the target age. Both qualitative and quantitative experiments show that our method can generate more realistic faces in terms of image quality, person identity and age consistency with human observations.
