• Abstract: We present ARCH++, an image-based method to reconstruct 3D avatars with arbitrary clothing styles. Our reconstructed avatars are animation-ready and highly realistic, in both the visible regions from input views and the unseen regions. While prior work shows great promise of reconstructing animatable clothed humans with various topologies, we observe that there exist fundamental limitations resulting in sub-optimal reconstruction quality. In this paper, we revisit the major steps of image-based avatar reconstruction and address the limitations with ARCH++. First, we introduce an end-to-end point based geometry encoder to better describe the semantics of the underlying 3D human body, in replacement of previous hand-crafted features. Second, in order to address the occupancy ambiguity caused by topological changes of clothed humans in the canonical pose, we propose a co-supervising framework with cross-space consistency to jointly estimate the occupancy in both the posed and canonical spaces. Last, we use image-to-image translation networks to further refine detailed geometry and texture on the reconstructed surface, which improves the fidelity and consistency across arbitrary viewpoints. In the experiments, we demonstrate improvements over the state of the art on both public benchmarks and user studies in reconstruction quality and realism.

  This paper aims to reconstruct hundreds of people's 3D poses, shapes, and locations from a single image with unknown camera parameters. Crowd3D is proposed to convert the complex 3D human localization into 2D-pixel localization with robust camera and ground estimation. Crowd3D++ eliminates the influence of camera parameters and the cropping operation by the proposed canonical upright space and ground-aware normalization transform.

  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 propose a neural skinning field based on skeleton-driven deformation to establish the target-to-canonical and canonical-to-observation correspondences. Experiments show that AniPixel renders comparable novel views while delivering better novel pose animation results than state-of-the-art methods.

  This work explores reconstructing general real-world objects from a few images without known camera poses or object categories. The crux of our work is solving two fundamental 3D vision problems -- shape reconstruction and pose estimation. Our method FORGE predicts 3D features from each view and leverages them in conjunction with the input images to establish cross-view correspondence.
