• Authors: Akash Sengupta and Ignas Budvytis and Roberto Cipolla
• Abstract summary: This paper addresses the problem of monocular 3D human shape and pose estimation from an RGB image. We propose STRAPS, a system that uses proxy representations, such as silhouettes and 2D joints, as inputs to a shape and pose regression neural network. We show that STRAPS outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on SSP-3D in terms of shape prediction accuracy.

• Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of monocular 3D human shape and pose estimation from an RGB image. Despite great progress in this field in terms of pose prediction accuracy, state-of-the-art methods often predict inaccurate body shapes. We suggest that this is primarily due to the scarcity of in-the-wild training data with diverse and accurate body shape labels. Thus, we propose STRAPS (Synthetic Training for Real Accurate Pose and Shape), a system that utilises proxy representations, such as silhouettes and 2D joints, as inputs to a shape and pose regression neural network, which is trained with synthetic training data (generated on-the-fly during training using the SMPL statistical body model) to overcome data scarcity. We bridge the gap between synthetic training inputs and noisy real inputs, which are predicted by keypoint detection and segmentation CNNs at test-time, by using data augmentation and corruption during training. In order to evaluate our approach, we curate and provide a challenging evaluation dataset for monocular human shape estimation, Sports Shape and Pose 3D (SSP-3D). It consists of RGB images of tightly-clothed sports-persons with a variety of body shapes and corresponding pseudo-ground-truth SMPL shape and pose parameters, obtained via multi-frame optimisation. We show that STRAPS outperforms other state-of-the-art methods on SSP-3D in terms of shape prediction accuracy, while remaining competitive with the state-of-the-art on pose-centric datasets and metrics.

  We propose a paradigm for seamlessly unifying different human pose and shape-related tasks and datasets. Our formulation is centered on the ability - both at training and test time - to query any arbitrary point of the human volume. We can naturally exploit differently annotated data sources including mesh, 2D/3D skeleton and dense pose, without having to convert between them.

  We propose a new modeling method for human pose deformations and design an accompanying diffusion-based motion prior. Inspired by the field of non-rigid structure-from-motion, we divide the task of reconstructing 3D human skeletons in motion into the estimation of a 3D reference skeleton. A mixed spatial-temporal NRSfMformer is used to simultaneously estimate the 3D reference skeleton and the skeleton deformation of each frame from 2D observations sequence.

  We learn a prior that restricts the SMPL parameters to values that produce realistic poses via adversarial training. We show that our learned prior covers the diversity of the real-data distribution, facilitates optimization for 3D reconstruction from 2D keypoints, and yields better pose estimates when used for regression from images.

A neural 3D mesh is exploited to enable silhouette supervision on the fly, which contributes to great improvements in shape estimation. We are among state-of-the-art on the 3DPW dataset in terms of pose accuracy and evidently outperform the rank-1 method in terms of shape accuracy.
