New framework detects geometric biases in 3D face reconstruction

Researchers have developed a new framework to identify and quantify geometric biases in 3D face reconstruction models. By analyzing surface curvature using the Laplace-Beltrami Operator, the framework generates detailed error maps that better correlate with human perception than traditional methods. Experiments revealed systematic age-related biases, with preliminary evidence of gender and ethnic biases, highlighting the need for curvature-aware evaluation to ensure fairness and precision in 3D face reconstruction.

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

    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, potenti…
