• Abstract summary: We present NeuralReshaper, a novel method for semantic reshaping of human bodies in single images using deep generative networks. Our approach follows a fit-then-reshape pipeline, which first fits a parametric 3D human model to a source human image. To deal with the lack-of-data problem that no paired data exist, we introduce a novel self-supervised strategy to train our network.

• Abstract: In this paper, we present NeuralReshaper, a novel method for semantic reshaping of human bodies in single images using deep generative networks. To achieve globally coherent reshaping effects, our approach follows a fit-then-reshape pipeline, which first fits a parametric 3D human model to a source human image and then reshapes the fitted 3D model with respect to user-specified semantic attributes. Previous methods rely on image warping to transfer 3D reshaping effects to the entire image domain and thus often cause distortions in both foreground and background. In contrast, we resort to generative adversarial nets conditioned on the source image and a 2D warping field induced by the reshaped 3D model, to achieve more realistic reshaping results. Specifically, we separately encode the foreground and background information in the source image using a two-headed UNet-like generator, and guide the information flow from the foreground branch to the background branch via feature space warping. Furthermore, to deal with the lack-of-data problem that no paired data exist (i.e., the same human bodies in varying shapes), we introduce a novel self-supervised strategy to train our network. Unlike previous methods that often require manual efforts to correct undesirable artifacts caused by incorrect body-to-image fitting, our method is fully automatic. Extensive experiments on both indoor and outdoor datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method over previous approaches.

  We propose a pre-training approach based on self-supervised learning that works on human-centric data using only images. We pre-train a model for body-centric tasks and one for hand-centric tasks. With a generic transformer architecture, these models outperform existing self-supervised pre-training methods on a wide set of human-centric downstream tasks.

An adversarial generator takes the garment warped by the 3D-aware flow, and the image of the target person as inputs, to synthesize the photo-realistic try-on result.

  In this work, we address the problem of multi-person 3D pose estimation from a single image. A typical regression approach in the top-down setting of this problem would first detect all humans and then reconstruct each one of them independently. Our goal is to train a single network that learns to avoid these problems and generate a coherent 3D reconstruction of all the humans in the scene.
