• Abstract summary: We propose a novel pipeline for the 3D reconstruction of the full body from egocentric viewpoints. We first make use of conditional GANs to translate the egocentric views to full body third-person views. The generated mesh has fairly realistic body proportions and is fully rigged allowing for further applications.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel pipeline for the 3D reconstruction of the full body from egocentric viewpoints. 3-D reconstruction of the human body from egocentric viewpoints is a challenging task as the view is skewed and the body parts farther from the cameras are occluded. One such example is the view from cameras installed below VR headsets. To achieve this task, we first make use of conditional GANs to translate the egocentric views to full body third-person views. This increases the comprehensibility of the image and caters to occlusions. The generated third-person view is further sent through the 3D reconstruction module that generates a 3D mesh of the body. We also train a network that can take the third person full-body view of the subject and generate the texture maps for applying on the mesh. The generated mesh has fairly realistic body proportions and is fully rigged allowing for further applications such as real-time animation and pose transfer in games. This approach can be key to a new domain of mobile human telepresence.

  We present a diffusion model-based framework for animating people from a single image for a given target 3D motion sequence. For the first part, we learn an in-filling diffusion model to hallucinate unseen parts of a person given a single image. Second, we develop a diffusion-based rendering pipeline, which is controlled by 3D human poses.

  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.

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.
