3D face reconstruction from a single image is an important task in many multimedia applications. Recent works typically learn a CNN-based 3D face model that regresses coefficients of a 3D Morphable Model (3DMM) from 2D images to perform 3D face reconstruction. However, the shortage of training data with 3D annotations considerably limits performance of these methods. To alleviate this issue, we propose a novel 2D-Assisted Learning (2DAL) method that can effectively use &#x201C;in the wild&#x201D; 2D face images with noisy landmark information to substantially improve 3D face model learning. Specifically, taking the sparse 2D facial landmark heatmaps as additional information, 2DAL introduces four novel self-supervision schemes that view the 2D landmark and 3D landmark prediction as a self-mapping process, including the landmark self-prediction consistency for 2D and 3D faces respectively, cycle-consistency over the 2D landmark prediction and self-critic over the predicted 3DMM coefficients based on landmark prediction. Using these four self-supervision schemes, 2DAL significantly relieves the demands for the the conventional paired 2D-to-3D annotations and gives much higher-quality 3D face models without requiring any additional 3D annotations. Experiments on AFLW2000-3D, AFLW-LFPA and Florence benchmarks show that our method outperforms state-of-the-arts for both 3D face reconstruction and dense face alignment by a large margin.
