• Abstract: Animating an object in 3D often requires an articulated structure, e.g. a kinematic chain or skeleton of the manipulated object with proper skinning weights, to obtain smooth movements and surface deformations. However, existing models that allow direct pose manipulations are either limited to specific object categories or built with specialized equipment. To reduce the work needed for creating animatable 3D models, we propose a novel reconstruction method that learns an animatable kinematic chain for any articulated object. Our method operates on monocular videos without prior knowledge of the object's shape or underlying structure. Our approach is on par with state-of-the-art 3D surface reconstruction methods on various articulated object categories while enabling direct pose manipulations by re-posing the learned kinematic chain.

  We propose a new framework for creating and manipulating 3D models of arbitrary objects using casually captured videos. Our core ingredient is a novel deformation hierarchy model, which captures motions of objects with a tree-structured bones. Our framework offers several clear advantages: (1) users can obtain animatable 3D models of the arbitrary objects in improved quality from their casual videos, (2) users can manipulate 3D models in an intuitive manner with minimal costs, and (3) users can interactively add or delete control points as necessary.

  HOLD -- the first category-agnostic method that reconstructs an articulated hand and object jointly from a monocular interaction video. We develop a compositional articulated implicit model that can disentangled 3D hand and object from 2D images. Our method does not rely on 3D hand-object annotations while outperforming fully-supervised baselines in both in-the-lab and challenging in-the-wild settings.

  Building animatable 3D models is challenging due to the need for 3D scans, laborious registration, and manual rigging. We present RAC that builds category 3D models from monocular videos while disentangling variations over instances and motion over time. We show that 3D models of humans, cats, and dogs can be learned from 50-100 internet videos.

  We learn both the appearance and the structure of previously unseen articulated objects by observing them move from multiple views. Our insight is that adjacent parts that move relative to each other must be connected by a joint. We show that our method works for different structures, from quadrupeds, to single-arm robots, to humans.

  We contribute DensePose 3D, a method that can learn such reconstructions in a weakly supervised fashion from 2D image annotations only. Because it does not require 3D scans, DensePose 3D can be used for learning a wide range of articulated categories such as different animal species. We show significant improvements compared to state-of-the-art non-rigid structure-from-motion baselines on both synthetic and real data on categories of humans and animals.
