• Abstract: There has been rapid progress recently on 3D human rendering, including novel view synthesis and pose animation, based on the advances of neural radiance fields (NeRF). However, most existing methods focus on person-specific training and their training typically requires multi-view videos. This paper deals with a new challenging task -- rendering novel views and novel poses for a person unseen in training, using only multiview images as input. For this task, we propose a simple yet effective method to train a generalizable NeRF with multiview images as conditional input. The key ingredient is a dedicated representation combining a canonical NeRF and a volume deformation scheme. Using a canonical space enables our method to learn shared properties of human and easily generalize to different people. Volume deformation is used to connect the canonical space with input and target images and query image features for radiance and density prediction. We leverage the parametric 3D human model fitted on the input images to derive the deformation, which works quite well in practice when combined with our canonical NeRF. The experiments on both real and synthetic data with the novel view synthesis and pose animation tasks collectively demonstrate the efficacy of our method.

  We propose a fully explicit approach to construct a digital avatar from as little as a single monocular sequence. ParDy-Human constitutes an explicit model for realistic dynamic human avatars which requires significantly fewer training views and images. Our avatars learning is free of additional annotations such as Splat masks and can be trained with variable backgrounds while inferring full-resolution images efficiently even on consumer hardware.

  We propose a novel animatable NeRF called ActorsNeRF. It is first pre-trained on diverse human subjects, and then adapted with few-shot monocular video frames for a new actor with unseen poses. We quantitatively and qualitatively demonstrate that ActorsNeRF significantly outperforms the existing state-of-the-art on few-shot generalization to new people and poses on multiple datasets.

Rendering these primitives gives results in a high-dimensional latent image, which is then transformed into an RGB image by a decoder network.

  We propose to leverage both the global and local features to form an expressive 3D representation.

  Novel view synthesis is a problem where we are given only a few context views sparsely covering a scene or an object. The goal is to predict novel viewpoints in the scene, which requires learning priors. We propose a 2D-only method that maps multiple context views and a query pose to a new image in a single pass of a neural network.
