Weakly-Supervised Deep Shape-From-Template by Sara Luengo-Sanchez, David Fuentes-Jimenez, Cristina Losada-Gutierrez, Daniel Pizarro, Adrien Bartoli

“…WS-DeepSfT addresses the limitations of existing SfT techniques by combining a weakly-supervised deep neural network (DNN) for registration and a classical As-Rigid-As-Possible (ARAP) algorithm for 3D reconstruction. Unlike previous deep learning-based SfT methods, which require extensive synthetic data and depth sensors for training, WS-DeepSfT only requires regular RGB video of the deforming object and a segmentation mask to discriminate the object from the background. …”
