  We propose NeuFace, a 3D face mesh pseudo annotation method on videos via
neural re-parameterized optimization. Despite the huge progress in 3D face
reconstruction methods, generating reliable 3D face labels for in-the-wild
dynamic videos remains challenging. Using NeuFace optimization, we annotate the
per-view/-frame accurate and consistent face meshes on large-scale face videos,
called the NeuFace-dataset. We investigate how neural re-parameterization helps
to reconstruct image-aligned facial details on 3D meshes via gradient analysis.
By exploiting the naturalness and diversity of 3D faces in our dataset, we
demonstrate the usefulness of our dataset for 3D face-related tasks: improving
the reconstruction accuracy of an existing 3D face reconstruction model and
learning 3D facial motion prior. Code and datasets will be available at
https://neuface-dataset.github.io.
