• Abstract summary: Estimating 3D poses and shapes in the form of meshes from monocular RGB images is challenging. We propose a coarse-to-fine pipeline that benefits from 1) inverse kinematics from the occlusion-robust 3D skeleton estimation. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, outperforming state-of-the-arts on 3DPW, MuPoTS and AGORA datasets.

• Abstract: Estimating 3D poses and shapes in the form of meshes from monocular RGB images is challenging. Obviously, it is more difficult than estimating 3D poses only in the form of skeletons or heatmaps. When interacting persons are involved, the 3D mesh reconstruction becomes more challenging due to the ambiguity introduced by person-to-person occlusions. To tackle the challenges, we propose a coarse-to-fine pipeline that benefits from 1) inverse kinematics from the occlusion-robust 3D skeleton estimation and 2) Transformer-based relation-aware refinement techniques. In our pipeline, we first obtain occlusion-robust 3D skeletons for multiple persons from an RGB image. Then, we apply inverse kinematics to convert the estimated skeletons to deformable 3D mesh parameters. Finally, we apply the Transformer-based mesh refinement that refines the obtained mesh parameters considering intra- and inter-person relations of 3D meshes. Via extensive experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, outperforming state-of-the-arts on 3DPW, MuPoTS and AGORA datasets.

  We introduce SkelFormer, a novel markerless motion capture pipeline for multi-view human pose and shape estimation. Our method first uses off-the-shelf 2D keypoint estimators, pre-trained on large-scale in-the-wild data, to obtain 3D joint positions. Next, we design a regression-based inverse-kinematic skeletal transformer that maps the joint positions to pose and shape representations from heavily noisy observations.

We model hands as articulated objects inducing non-rigid face deformations during an active interaction. Our method relies on a new hand-face motion and interaction capture dataset with realistic face deformations acquired with a markerless multi-view camera system.

• 3D shape reconstruction of semi-transparent worms [0.950214811819847]
  3D shape reconstruction typically requires identifying object features or textures in multiple images of a subject. Here we overcome these challenges by rendering a candidate shape with adaptive blurring and transparency for comparison with the images. We model the slender Caenorhabditis elegans as a 3D curve using an intrinsic parametrisation that naturally admits biologically-informed constraints and regularisation.

  We propose neural dual quaternion blend skinning (NeuDBS) to achieve 3D point deformation without skin-collapsing artifacts. In the endeavor to register 2D pixels across different frames, we establish a correspondence between canonical feature embeddings that encodes 3D points within the canonical space. Our approach can reconstruct 3D models for humans and animals with better qualitative and quantitative performance than state-of-the-art methods.

• Permutation-Invariant Relational Network for Multi-person 3D Pose Estimation [46.38290735670527]
  Recovering multi-person 3D poses from a single RGB image is a severely ill-conditioned problem. Recent works have shown promising results by simultaneously reasoning for different people but in all cases within a local neighborhood. PI-Net introduces a self-attention block to reason for all people in the image at the same time and refine potentially noisy initial 3D poses. In this paper, we model people interactions at a whole, independently of their number, and in a permutation-invariant manner building upon the Set Transformer.

  3D Morphable Model (3DMM) fitting has widely benefited face analysis due to its strong 3D priori. Previous reconstructed 3D faces suffer from degraded visual verisimilitude due to the loss of fine-grained geometry. This paper proposes a complete solution to capture the personalized shape so that the reconstructed shape looks identical to the corresponding person.

  We propose a novel hybrid inverse kinematics solution (HybrIK) to bridge the gap between body mesh estimation and 3D keypoint estimation. HybrIK directly transforms accurate 3D joints to relative body-part rotations for 3D body mesh reconstruction. We show that HybrIK preserves both the accuracy of 3D pose and the realistic body structure of the parametric human model.
