This paper makes a first attempt to combines meta-transfer learning and generative adversarial networks (GAN) technology to solve the Shape from Polarization (SfP) problem. To solve this physics-based ill-posed problem, some researchers choose to blend these physical models as priors into a neural network architecture however cannot meet the requirements of cross-domain and few-shot polarization data. This proposed approach put forward two innovative points. First, we design the meta-transfer method so adapt GAN for few-shot learning tasks. Second, we introduce physical priors between monocular polarization sequence and 3D normal vector into the generative loss term. We report to exceed the previous state-of-the-art on deepsfp dataset, showing the potential of meta-transfer learning in few-shot generative tasks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
