• Abstract summary: We introduce a novel representation on the basis of recent neural scene rendering techniques. The core of our representation is a set of structured local radiance fields, anchored to the pre-defined nodes sampled on a statistical human body template. Our method enables automatic construction of animatable human avatars for various types of clothes without the need for scanning subject-specific templates.

• Abstract: It is extremely challenging to create an animatable clothed human avatar from RGB videos, especially for loose clothes due to the difficulties in motion modeling. To address this problem, we introduce a novel representation on the basis of recent neural scene rendering techniques. The core of our representation is a set of structured local radiance fields, which are anchored to the pre-defined nodes sampled on a statistical human body template. These local radiance fields not only leverage the flexibility of implicit representation in shape and appearance modeling, but also factorize cloth deformations into skeleton motions, node residual translations and the dynamic detail variations inside each individual radiance field. To learn our representation from RGB data and facilitate pose generalization, we propose to learn the node translations and the detail variations in a conditional generative latent space. Overall, our method enables automatic construction of animatable human avatars for various types of clothes without the need for scanning subject-specific templates, and can generate realistic images with dynamic details for novel poses. Experiment show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.

  We introduce AniDress, a novel method for generating animatable human avatars in loose clothes using very sparse multi-view videos. A pose-driven deformable neural radiance field conditioned on both body and garment motions is introduced, providing explicit control of both parts. Our method is able to render natural garment dynamics that deviate highly from the body and well to generalize to both unseen views and poses.

For training, our method solely requires a multi-view recording of the human under a known, but static lighting condition. To evaluate our approach in real-world scenarios, we collect a new dataset with four identities recorded under different light conditions, indoors and outdoors.
