Abstract

We present a unified learning framework for recovering both 3D mesh and camera pose of the object from a single image. Our approach learns to recover outer shape and surface geometric details of the mesh without relying on 3D supervision. We adopt multi-view normal maps as the 2D supervision so that the silhouette and geometric details information can be transferred to neural network. A normal mismatch based objective function is introduced to train the network, and the camera pose is parameterized into the objective, it integrates pose estimation with the mesh reconstruction in a same optimization procedure. We demonstrate the abilities of the proposed approach in generating 3D mesh and estimating camera pose with qualitative and quantitative experiments.
