• Abstract summary: We present a generative model for images of dressed humans offering control over pose, local body part appearance and garment style. Our model encodes part-based latent appearance vectors in a normalized pose-independent space and warps them to different poses, it preserves body and clothing appearance under varying posture.

• Abstract: Generative adversarial networks achieve great performance in photorealistic image synthesis in various domains, including human images. However, they usually employ latent vectors that encode the sampled outputs globally. This does not allow convenient control of semantically-relevant individual parts of the image, and is not able to draw samples that only differ in partial aspects, such as clothing style. We address these limitations and present a generative model for images of dressed humans offering control over pose, local body part appearance and garment style. This is the first method to solve various aspects of human image generation such as global appearance sampling, pose transfer, parts and garment transfer, and parts sampling jointly in a unified framework. As our model encodes part-based latent appearance vectors in a normalized pose-independent space and warps them to different poses, it preserves body and clothing appearance under varying posture. Experiments show that our flexible and general generative method outperforms task-specific baselines for pose-conditioned image generation, pose transfer and part sampling in terms of realism and output resolution.

  Parts2Whole is a novel framework designed for generating customized portraits from multiple reference images. We first develop a semantic-aware appearance encoder to retain details of different human parts. Second, our framework supports multi-image conditioned generation through a shared self-attention mechanism.

  We propose a novel method to combine multiple pretrained GANs. One GAN generates a global canvas (e.g., human body) and a set of specialized GANs, or insets, focus on different parts. We demonstrate the setup by combining a full body GAN with a dedicated high-quality face GAN to produce plausible-looking humans.

  We propose PISE, a novel two-stage generative model for Person Image Synthesis and Editing. For human pose transfer, we first synthesize a human parsing map aligned with the target pose to represent the shape of clothing. To decouple the shape and style of clothing, we propose joint global and local per-region encoding and normalization.

  We present a new pose transfer method for synthesizing a human animation from a single image of a person controlled by a sequence of body poses. Existing pose transfer methods exhibit significant visual artifacts when applying to a novel scene. We design a compositional neural network that predicts the silhouette, garment labels, and textures. We are able to synthesize human animations that can preserve the identity and appearance of the person in a temporally coherent way without any fine-tuning of the network on the testing scene.
