  Facial action unit (AU) intensity is an index to describe all visually
discernible facial movements. Most existing methods learn intensity estimator
with limited AU data, while they lack generalization ability out of the
dataset. In this paper, we present a framework to predict the facial parameters
(including identity parameters and AU parameters) based on a bone-driven face
model (BDFM) under different views. The proposed framework consists of a
feature extractor, a generator, and a facial parameter regressor. The regressor
can fit the physical meaning parameters of the BDFM from a single face image
with the help of the generator, which maps the facial parameters to the
game-face images as a differentiable renderer. Besides, identity loss, loopback
loss, and adversarial loss can improve the regressive results. Quantitative
evaluations are performed on two public databases BP4D and DISFA, which
demonstrates that the proposed method can achieve comparable or better
performance than the state-of-the-art methods. What's more, the qualitative
results also demonstrate the validity of our method in the wild.
