• Abstract: We propose united implicit functions (UNIF), a part-based method for clothed human reconstruction and animation with raw scans and skeletons as the input. Previous part-based methods for human reconstruction rely on ground-truth part labels from SMPL and thus are limited to minimal-clothed humans. In contrast, our method learns to separate parts from body motions instead of part supervision, thus can be extended to clothed humans and other articulated objects. Our Partition-from-Motion is achieved by a bone-centered initialization, a bone limit loss, and a section normal loss that ensure stable part division even when the training poses are limited. We also present a minimal perimeter loss for SDF to suppress extra surfaces and part overlapping. Another core of our method is an adjacent part seaming algorithm that produces non-rigid deformations to maintain the connection between parts which significantly relieves the part-based artifacts. Under this algorithm, we further propose "Competing Parts", a method that defines blending weights by the relative position of a point to bones instead of the absolute position, avoiding the generalization problem of neural implicit functions with inverse LBS (linear blend skinning). We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method by clothed human body reconstruction and animation on the CAPE and the ClothSeq datasets.

  "Divide and Fuse" strategy reconstructs human body parts independently before fusing them. Human Part Parametric Models (HPPM) independently reconstruct the mesh from a few shape and global-location parameters. A specially designed fusion module seamlessly integrates the reconstructed parts, even when only a few are visible.

  We introduce a novel all-in-one-stage framework, AiOS, for expressive human pose and shape recovery without an additional human detection step. We first employ a human token to probe a human location in the image and encode global features for each instance. Then, we introduce a joint-related token to probe the human joint in the image and encoder a fine-grained local feature.

  We propose a new method to reconstruct the 3D human body from RGB-D images with occlusions. To reconstruct a semantically and physically plausible human body, we propose to reduce the solution space based on scene information and prior knowledge. We conducted experiments on the PROX dataset, and the results demonstrate that our method produces more accurate and plausible results compared with other methods.

  Occluded person re-identification (ReID) is a person retrieval task which aims at matching occluded person images with holistic ones. Part-based methods have been shown beneficial as they offer fine-grained information and are well suited to represent partially visible human bodies. We propose BPBreID, a body part-based ReID model for solving the above issues.

  We propose PPD (unsupervised Pose-aware Part Decomposition) to address a novel setting that explicitly targets man-made articulated objects with mechanical joints. We show that category-common prior learning for both part shapes and poses facilitates the unsupervised learning of (1) part decomposition with non-primitive-based implicit representation, and (2) part pose as joint parameters under single-frame shape supervision.

  Recent works succeed in regression-based methods which estimate parametric models directly through a deep neural network supervised by 3D ground truth. In this paper, we introduce body segmentation as critical supervision. 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.
