• Abstract summary: We learn a neural deformation model that disentangles identity-induced shape variations from pose-dependent deformations using implicit neural functions. We propose two methods to integrate global pose alignment with our neural deformation model. Our method also outperforms traditional skeleton-driven models in reconstructing surface details such as palm prints or tendons without limitations from a fixed template.

• Abstract: Neural shape models can represent complex 3D shapes with a compact latent space. When applied to dynamically deforming shapes such as the human hands, however, they would need to preserve temporal coherence of the deformation as well as the intrinsic identity of the subject. These properties are difficult to regularize with manually designed loss functions. In this paper, we learn a neural deformation model that disentangles the identity-induced shape variations from pose-dependent deformations using implicit neural functions. We perform template-free unsupervised learning on 3D scans without explicit mesh correspondence or semantic correspondences of shapes across subjects. We can then apply the learned model to reconstruct partial dynamic 4D scans of novel subjects performing unseen actions. We propose two methods to integrate global pose alignment with our neural deformation model. Experiments demonstrate the efficacy of our method in the disentanglement of identities and pose. Our method also outperforms traditional skeleton-driven models in reconstructing surface details such as palm prints or tendons without limitations from a fixed template.

  ReShapeIT represents an anatomical structure with an implicit template field shared within the same category. It ensures the implicit template field generates valid templates by strengthening the constraint of the correspondence between the instance shape and the template shape. A template Interaction Module is introduced to reconstruct unseen shapes by interacting the valid template shapes with the instance-wise latent codes.

  We propose a novel self-supervised approach to learn neural implicit shape representation for deformable objects. Our method does not require the priors of skeleton and skinning weight, and only requires a collection of shapes represented in signed distance fields. Our model can represent shapes with large deformations and can support two typical applications, such as texture transfer and shape editing.

  Learning to model and reconstruct humans in clothing is challenging due to articulation, non-rigid deformation, and varying clothing types and topologies. Recent work uses neural networks to parameterize local surface elements. We present three key innovations: First, we deform surface elements based on a human body model. Second, we address the limitations of existing neural surface elements by regressing local geometry from local features.
