• Abstract: We present a novel animatable 3D Gaussian model for rendering high-fidelity free-view human motions in real time. Compared to existing NeRF-based methods, the model owns better capability in synthesizing high-frequency details without the jittering problem across video frames. The core of our model is a novel augmented 3D Gaussian representation, which attaches each Gaussian with a learnable code. The learnable code serves as a pose-dependent appearance embedding for refining the erroneous appearance caused by geometric transformation of Gaussians, based on which an appearance refinement model is learned to produce residual Gaussian properties to match the appearance in target pose. To force the Gaussians to learn the foreground human only without background interference, we further design a novel alpha loss to explicitly constrain the Gaussians within the human body. We also propose to jointly optimize the human joint parameters to improve the appearance accuracy. The animatable 3D Gaussian model can be learned with shallow MLPs, so new human motions can be synthesized in real time (66 fps on avarage). Experiments show that our model has superior performance over NeRF-based methods.

  We present a novel approach called HFGaussian that can estimate novel views and human features, such as the 3D skeleton, 3D key points, and dense pose, from sparse input images in real time at 25 FPS. We thoroughly evaluate our HFGaussian method against the latest state-of-the-art techniques in human Gaussian splatting and pose estimation, demonstrating its real-time, state-of-the-art performance.

  We base our work on 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), a scene representation composed of a mixture of Gaussians. We show that this combination can achieve fast inference of 3D human models from a single image without test-time optimization. We also show that it can improve 3D pose estimation by better fitting human models that account for clothes and other variations.

  We propose a fully explicit approach to construct a digital avatar from as little as a single monocular sequence. ParDy-Human constitutes an explicit model for realistic dynamic human avatars which requires significantly fewer training views and images. Our avatars learning is free of additional annotations such as Splat masks and can be trained with variable backgrounds while inferring full-resolution images efficiently even on consumer hardware.
