• Abstract: Nonparametric approaches have shown promising results on reconstructing 3D human mesh from a single monocular image. Unlike previous approaches that use a parametric human model like skinned multi-person linear model (SMPL), and attempt to regress the model parameters, nonparametric approaches relax the heavy reliance on the parametric space. However, existing nonparametric methods require ground truth meshes as their regression target for each vertex, and obtaining ground truth mesh labels is very expensive. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to learn human mesh reconstruction without any ground truth meshes. This is made possible by introducing two new terms into the loss function of a graph convolutional neural network (Graph CNN). The first term is the Laplacian prior that acts as a regularizer on the reconstructed mesh. The second term is the part segmentation loss that forces the projected region of the reconstructed mesh to match the part segmentation. Experimental results on multiple public datasets show that without using 3D ground truth meshes, the proposed approach outperforms the previous state-of-the-art approaches that require ground truth meshes for training.

  Self-supervised human mesh recovery methods have poor generalizability due to limited availability and diversity of 3D-annotated benchmark datasets. We propose cross-representation alignment utilizing the complementary information from the robust but sparse representation (2D keypoints) This adaptive cross-representation alignment explicitly learns from the deviations and captures complementary information: richness from sparse representation and robustness from dense representation.

  Regression-based methods have recently shown promising results in reconstructing human meshes from monocular images.

We propose a Pyramidal Mesh Alignment Feedback (PyMAF) loop to leverage a feature pyramid and rectify the predicted parameters.
