FFHQ-UV is a large-scale facial UV-texture dataset that contains over 50,000 high-quality texture UV-maps with even illuminations, neutral expressions, and cleaned facial regions, which are desired characteristics for rendering realistic 3D face models under different lighting conditions.

The dataset is derived from a large-scale face image dataset namely FFHQ, with the help of our fully automatic and robust UV-texture production pipeline. Our pipeline utilizes the recent advances in StyleGAN-based facial image editing approaches to generate multi-view normalized face images from single-image inputs. An elaborated UV-texture extraction, correction, and completion procedure is then applied to produce high-quality UV-maps from the normalized face images. Compared with existing UV-texture datasets, our dataset has more diverse and higher-quality texture maps.

• FFHQ-UV-Interpolate is a variant of FFHQ-UV. Please refer to this readme for details.

• We provide the latent codes of the multi-view normalized face images which are used for extracting texture UV-maps. Along with the latent codes, we also provide the attributes (gender, age, beard) of each face, which are detected by Microsoft Face API.
• One can generate face images from download latent codes by using the following script.

sh run_gen_face_from_latent.sh  # Please refer to this script for detailed configuration

• Please refer to this readme for details of checkpoints.
• Please refer to this readme for details of topology assets.

• Prepare a directory of dataset project, which contains a "images" subfolder.
• Put the original images into the "images" subfolder.
• Modify the configuration and then run the following script to create the facial UV-texture dataset.

sh run_ffhq_uv_dataset.sh  # Please refer to this script for detailed configuration

• Put the input images into a folder.
• Modify the configuration and then run the following script for fitting.
