• Abstract: Human re-rendering from a single image is a starkly under-constrained problem, and state-of-the-art algorithms often exhibit undesired artefacts, such as over-smoothing, unrealistic distortions of the body parts and garments, or implausible changes of the texture. To address these challenges, we propose a new method for neural re-rendering of a human under a novel user-defined pose and viewpoint, given one input image. Our algorithm represents body pose and shape as a parametric mesh which can be reconstructed from a single image and easily reposed. Instead of a colour-based UV texture map, our approach further employs a learned high-dimensional UV feature map to encode appearance. This rich implicit representation captures detailed appearance variation across poses, viewpoints, person identities and clothing styles better than learned colour texture maps. The body model with the rendered feature maps is fed through a neural image-translation network that creates the final rendered colour image. The above components are combined in an end-to-end-trained neural network architecture that takes as input a source person image, and images of the parametric body model in the source pose and desired target pose. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that our approach produces higher quality single image re-rendering results than existing methods.

  We present a framework for acquiring human avatars that are attached with high-resolution physically-based material textures and mesh from monocular video. Our method introduces a novel information fusion strategy to combine the information from the monocular video and synthesize virtual multi-view images. Experiments show that our approach outperforms previous representations in terms of high fidelity, and this explicit result supports deployment on common triangulars.

  SiTH is a novel pipeline that integrates an image-conditioned diffusion model into a 3D mesh reconstruction workflow. We employ a powerful generative diffusion model to hallucinate unseen back-view appearance based on the input images. For the latter, we leverage skinned body meshes as guidance to recover full-body texture meshes from the input and back-view images.

  We present NeuralReshaper, a novel method for semantic reshaping of human bodies in single images using deep generative networks. Our approach follows a fit-then-reshape pipeline, which first fits a parametric 3D human model to a source human image. To deal with the lack-of-data problem that no paired data exist, we introduce a novel self-supervised strategy to train our network.

  We present EgoRenderer, a system for rendering full-body neural avatars of a person captured by a wearable, egocentric fisheye camera. Rendering full-body avatars from such egocentric images come with unique challenges due to the top-down view and large distortions. We tackle these challenges by decomposing the rendering process into several steps, including texture synthesis, pose construction, and neural image translation.
