• Abstract summary: We present a novel method for reconstructing clothed humans from a sparse set of, e.g., 1 to 6 RGB images. Our method significantly reduces the mean point-to-surface (P2S) precision of state-of-the-art methods by more than 50% to achieve approximately 2mm accuracy with a 512 volume resolution.

• Abstract: We present a novel method for reconstructing clothed humans from a sparse set of, e.g., 1 to 6 RGB images. Despite impressive results from recent works employing deep implicit representation, we revisit the volumetric approach and demonstrate that better performance can be achieved with proper system design. The volumetric representation offers significant advantages in leveraging 3D spatial context through 3D convolutions, and the notorious quantization error is largely negligible with a reasonably large yet affordable volume resolution, e.g., 512. To handle memory and computation costs, we propose a sophisticated coarse-to-fine strategy with voxel culling and subspace sparse convolution. Our method starts with a discretized visual hull to compute a coarse shape and then focuses on a narrow band nearby the coarse shape for refinement. Once the shape is reconstructed, we adopt an image-based rendering approach, which computes the colors of surface points by blending input images with learned weights. Extensive experimental results show that our method significantly reduces the mean point-to-surface (P2S) precision of state-of-the-art methods by more than 50% to achieve approximately 2mm accuracy with a 512 volume resolution. Additionally, images rendered from our textured model achieve a higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) compared to state-of-the-art methods.

We optimize the shape geometry by minimizing the difference between the rendered mesh with the depth predicted by the learning-based multi-view stereo algorithm. In contrast to the implicit neural representation on shape and color, we introduce a physically based inverse rendering scheme to jointly estimate the lighting and reflectance of the objects.

  We propose an explicit deconvolution process in a feature space by integrating a classical Wiener deconvolution framework with learned deep features. A multi-scale cascaded feature refinement module then predicts the deblurred image from the deconvolved deep features. We show that the proposed deep Wiener deconvolution network facilitates deblurred results with visibly fewer artifacts and quantitatively outperforms state-of-the-art non-blind image deblurring methods by a wide margin.

  We propose an approach to reconstruct dense three-dimensional (3D) model of tissue surface from stereo optical videos in real-time. The basic idea is to first extract 3D information from video frames by using stereo matching, and then to mosaic the reconstructed 3D models. Experimental results on ex- and in vivo data showed that the reconstructed 3D models have high resolution texture with an accuracy error of less than 2 mm.
