Unsupervised point cloud shape correspondence aims to obtain dense point-to-point correspondences between point clouds without manually annotated pairs. However, humans and some animals have bilateral symmetry and various orientations, which lead to severe mispredictions of symmetrical parts. Besides, point cloud noise disrupts consistent representations for point cloud and thus degrades the shape correspondence accuracy. To address the above issues, we propose a Self-Ensembling ORientation-aware Network termed SE-ORNet. The key of our approach is to exploit an orientation estimation module with a domain adaptive discriminator to align the orientations of point cloud pairs, which significantly alleviates the mispredictions of symmetrical parts. Additionally, we design a selfensembling framework for unsupervised point cloud shape correspondence. In this framework, the disturbances of point cloud noise are overcome by perturbing the inputs of the student and teacher networks with different data augmentations and constraining the consistency of predictions. Extensive experiments on both human and animal datasets show that our SE-ORNet can surpass state-of-the-art unsupervised point cloud shape correspondence methods.

Many recent works have been proposed for face image editing by leveraging the latent space of pretrained GANs. However, few attempts have been made to directly apply them to videos, because 1) they do not guarantee temporal consistency, 2) their application is limited by their processing speed on videos, and 3) they cannot accurately encode details of face motion and expression. To this end, we propose a novel network to encode face videos into the latent space of StyleGAN for semantic face video manipulation. Based on the vision transformer, our network reuses the high-resolution portion of the latent vector to enforce temporal consistency. To capture subtle face motions and expressions, we design novel losses that involve sparse facial landmarks and dense 3D face mesh. We have thoroughly evaluated our approach and successfully demonstrated its application to various face video manipulations. Particularly, we propose a novel network for pose/expression control in a 3D coordinate system. Both qualitative and quantitative results have shown that our approach can significantly outperform existing single image methods, while achieving real-time (66 fps) speed.
