• Abstract: Estimation of human shape and pose from a single image is a challenging task. It is an even more difficult problem to map the identified human shape onto a 3D human model. Existing methods map manually labelled human pixels in real 2D images onto the 3D surface, which is prone to human error, and the sparsity of available annotated data often leads to sub-optimal results. We propose to solve the problem of data scarcity by training 2D-3D human mapping algorithms using automatically generated synthetic data for which exact and dense 2D-3D correspondence is known. Such a learning strategy using synthetic environments has a high generalisation potential towards real-world data. Using different camera parameter variations, background and lighting settings, we created precise ground truth data that constitutes a wider distribution. We evaluate the performance of models trained on synthetic using the COCO dataset and validation framework. Results show that training 2D-3D mapping network models on synthetic data is a viable alternative to using real data.

  The challenge of accurately inferring texture remains, particularly in obscured areas such as the back of a person in frontal-view images. This limitation in texture prediction largely stems from the scarcity of large-scale and diverse 3D datasets. We propose leveraging extensive 2D fashion datasets to enhance both texture and shape prediction in 3D human digitization.

  Recent breakthroughs in text-to-image synthesis have been driven by diffusion models trained on billions of image-text pairs. In this work, we circumvent these limitations by using a pretrained 2D text-to-image diffusion model to perform text-to-3D synthesis. Our approach requires no 3D training data and no modifications to the image diffusion model, demonstrating the effectiveness of pretrained image diffusion models as priors.

  Ray-marching in Camera Space (RiCS) is a new method to represent the self-occlusions of foreground objects in 3D into a 2D self-occlusion map. We show that our representation map not only allows us to enhance the image quality but also to model temporally coherent complex shadow effects.

  A promising solution is to make better use of the synthetic dataset, which consists of CAD object models, to boost the learning on real datasets. Recent work on 3D pre-training exhibits failure when transfer features learned on synthetic objects to other real-world applications. In this work, we put forward a new method called RandomRooms to accomplish this objective.
