• Abstract summary: Estimating 3D human pose and shape from 2D images is a crucial yet challenging task. We learn dense human body estimation that is robust to partial observations. We obtain pseudo ground-truths of visibility labels from dense UV correspondences and train a neural network to predict visibility along with 3D coordinates.

• Abstract: Estimating 3D human pose and shape from 2D images is a crucial yet challenging task. While prior methods with model-based representations can perform reasonably well on whole-body images, they often fail when parts of the body are occluded or outside the frame. Moreover, these results usually do not faithfully capture the human silhouettes due to their limited representation power of deformable models (e.g., representing only the naked body). An alternative approach is to estimate dense vertices of a predefined template body in the image space. Such representations are effective in localizing vertices within an image but cannot handle out-of-frame body parts. In this work, we learn dense human body estimation that is robust to partial observations. We explicitly model the visibility of human joints and vertices in the x, y, and z axes separately. The visibility in x and y axes help distinguishing out-of-frame cases, and the visibility in depth axis corresponds to occlusions (either self-occlusions or occlusions by other objects). We obtain pseudo ground-truths of visibility labels from dense UV correspondences and train a neural network to predict visibility along with 3D coordinates. We show that visibility can serve as 1) an additional signal to resolve depth ordering ambiguities of self-occluded vertices and 2) a regularization term when fitting a human body model to the predictions. Extensive experiments on multiple 3D human datasets demonstrate that visibility modeling significantly improves the accuracy of human body estimation, especially for partial-body cases.

  We extend existing implicit function-based models to deal with images of humans with arbitrary poses and self-occluded limbs. We learn an implicit function that maps the input image to a 3D body shape with a low level of detail. We then learn a displacement map, conditioned on the smoothed surface, which encodes the high-frequency details of the clothes and body.

A neural 3D mesh is exploited to enable silhouette supervision on the fly, which contributes to great improvements in shape estimation. We are among state-of-the-art on the 3DPW dataset in terms of pose accuracy and evidently outperform the rank-1 method in terms of shape accuracy.
