• Abstract summary: We learn a prior that restricts the SMPL parameters to values that produce realistic poses via adversarial training. We show that our learned prior covers the diversity of the real-data distribution, facilitates optimization for 3D reconstruction from 2D keypoints, and yields better pose estimates when used for regression from images.

• Abstract: The Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) model can represent a human body by mapping pose and shape parameters to body meshes. This has been shown to facilitate inferring 3D human pose and shape from images via different learning models. However, not all pose and shape parameter values yield physically-plausible or even realistic body meshes. In other words, SMPL is under-constrained and may thus lead to invalid results when used to reconstruct humans from images, either by directly optimizing its parameters, or by learning a mapping from the image to these parameters. In this paper, we therefore learn a prior that restricts the SMPL parameters to values that produce realistic poses via adversarial training. We show that our learned prior covers the diversity of the real-data distribution, facilitates optimization for 3D reconstruction from 2D keypoints, and yields better pose estimates when used for regression from images. We found that the prior based on spherical distribution gets the best results. Furthermore, in all these tasks, it outperforms the state-of-the-art VAE-based approach to constraining the SMPL parameters.

  regression-based methods have dominated the field of 3D human pose and shape estimation. We propose to construct dense correspondences between initial human model estimates and the corresponding images. We show that our approach not only consistently leads to better image-model alignment, but also to improved 3D accuracy.

  We introduce a principled end-to-end reconstruction framework for natural images, where accurate ground-truth poses are not available. We leverage an unconditional 3D-aware generator, to which we apply a hybrid inversion scheme where a model produces a first guess of the solution. Our framework can de-render an image in as few as 10 steps, enabling its use in practical scenarios.

  Regression-based methods have recently shown promising results in reconstructing human meshes from monocular images.

We propose a Pyramidal Mesh Alignment Feedback (PyMAF) loop to leverage a feature pyramid and rectify the predicted parameters.

To improve the reconstruction with part segmentation, we propose a part-level differentiable part that enables part-based models to be supervised by part segmentation.
