• Abstract: Pixel-aligned Implicit Function (PIFu) effectively captures subtle variations in body shape within a low-dimensional space through extensive training with human 3D scans, its application to live animals presents formidable challenges due to the difficulty of obtaining animal cooperation for 3D scanning. To address this challenge, we propose the combination of two-stage supervised and self-supervised training to address the challenge of obtaining animal cooperation for 3D scanning. In the first stage, we leverage synthetic animal models for supervised learning. This allows the model to learn from a diverse set of virtual animal instances. In the second stage, we use 2D multi-view consistency as a self-supervised training method. This further enhances the model's ability to reconstruct accurate and realistic 3D shape and texture from largely available single-view images of real animals. The results of our study demonstrate that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art methods in both quantitative and qualitative aspects of bird 3D digitization.

  We develop 3D-Fauna, an approach that learns a pan-category deformable 3D animal model for more than 100 animal species jointly. One crucial bottleneck of modeling animals is the limited availability of training data. We show that prior category-specific attempts fail to generalize to rare species with limited training images.

  We propose Animal3D, the first comprehensive dataset for mammal animal 3D pose and shape estimation. Animal3D consists of 3379 images collected from 40 mammal species, high-quality annotations of 26 keypoints, and importantly the pose and shape parameters of the SMAL model. Based on the Animal3D dataset, we benchmark representative shape and pose estimation models at: (1) supervised learning from only the Animal3D data, (2) synthetic to real transfer from synthetically generated images, and (3) fine-tuning human pose and shape estimation models.

  We propose a practical problem setting to estimate 3D pose and shape of animals given only a few in-the-wild images of a particular animal species. We do not assume any form of 2D or 3D ground-truth annotations, nor do we leverage any multi-view or temporal information. Following these insights, we propose LASSIE, a novel optimization framework which discovers 3D parts in a self-supervised manner.

  Existing self-supervised 3D human pose estimation schemes have largely relied on weak supervisions to guide the learning. We propose a novel self-supervised approach that allows us to explicitly generate 2D-3D pose pairs for augmenting supervision. This is made possible via introducing a reinforcement-learning-based imitator, which is learned jointly with a pose estimator alongside a pose hallucinator.
