• Abstract summary: We introduce PLIKS for reconstruction of a 3D mesh of the human body from a single 2D image. PLIKS is built on a linearized formulation of the parametric SMPL model. We present evaluations which confirm that PLIKS achieves more accurate reconstruction with greater than 10% improvement.

• Abstract: We introduce PLIKS (Pseudo-Linear Inverse Kinematic Solver) for reconstruction of a 3D mesh of the human body from a single 2D image. Current techniques directly regress the shape, pose, and translation of a parametric model from an input image through a non-linear mapping with minimal flexibility to any external influences. We approach the task as a model-in-the-loop optimization problem. PLIKS is built on a linearized formulation of the parametric SMPL model. Using PLIKS, we can analytically reconstruct the human model via 2D pixel-aligned vertices. This enables us with the flexibility to use accurate camera calibration information when available. PLIKS offers an easy way to introduce additional constraints such as shape and translation. We present quantitative evaluations which confirm that PLIKS achieves more accurate reconstruction with greater than 10% improvement compared to other state-of-the-art methods with respect to the standard 3D human pose and shape benchmarks while also obtaining a reconstruction error improvement of 12.9 mm on the newer AGORA dataset.

  regression-based methods have dominated the field of 3D human pose and shape estimation. We propose to construct dense correspondences between initial human model estimates and the corresponding images. We show that our approach not only consistently leads to better image-model alignment, but also to improved 3D accuracy.

  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.

Our model is robust to the quality of the initial mesh and the error of camera pose, and can be combined with a differentiable function for test-time optimization.

  We learn a prior that restricts the SMPL parameters to values that produce realistic poses via adversarial training. We show that our learned prior covers the diversity of the real-data distribution, facilitates optimization for 3D reconstruction from 2D keypoints, and yields better pose estimates when used for regression from images.
