Exploration on face detection and 3D reconstruction using the “Large Pose 3D Face Reconstruction from a Single Image via Direct Volumetric CNN Regression” code by Aaron S. Jackson, Adrian Bulat, Vasileios Argyriou and Georgios Tzimiropoulos.

We selected 8 Famous Paintings and let the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) perform a direct regression of a volumetric representation of the 3D facial geometry from a single 2D image.
