• Abstract summary: We present the first approach to render highly realistic free-viewpoint videos of a human actor in general apparel. At inference, our method only requires four camera views of the moving actor and the respective 3D skeletal pose. It handles actors in wide clothing, and reproduces even fine-scale dynamic detail.

• Abstract: We present the first approach to render highly realistic free-viewpoint videos of a human actor in general apparel, from sparse multi-view recording to display, in real-time at an unprecedented 4K resolution. At inference, our method only requires four camera views of the moving actor and the respective 3D skeletal pose. It handles actors in wide clothing, and reproduces even fine-scale dynamic detail, e.g. clothing wrinkles, face expressions, and hand gestures. At training time, our learning-based approach expects dense multi-view video and a rigged static surface scan of the actor. Our method comprises three main stages. Stage 1 is a skeleton-driven neural approach for high-quality capture of the detailed dynamic mesh geometry. Stage 2 is a novel solution to create a view-dependent texture using four test-time camera views as input. Finally, stage 3 comprises a new image-based refinement network rendering the final 4K image given the output from the previous stages. Our approach establishes a new benchmark for real-time rendering resolution and quality using sparse input camera views, unlocking possibilities for immersive telepresence.

  We introduce GFlow, a framework that lifts a video (3D) to a 4D explicit representation, entailing a flow of Gaussian splatting through space and time. GFlow first clusters the scene into still and moving parts, then applies a sequential optimization process. GFlow transcends the boundaries of mere 4D reconstruction.

  We study the problem of synthesizing a long-term dynamic video from only a single image. Existing methods either hallucinate inconsistent perpetual views or struggle with long camera trajectories. We present Make-It-4D, a novel method that can generate a consistent long-term dynamic video from a single image.

  Reconstruction of 3D neural fields from posed images has emerged as a promising method for self-supervised representation learning. Key challenge preventing the deployment of these 3D scene learners on large-scale video data is their dependence on precise camera poses from structure-from-motion. We propose a method that jointly reconstructs camera poses and 3D neural scene representations online and in a single forward pass.

  We consider the problem of estimating the 3D position of multiple humans in a scene as well as their body shape and articulation from a single RGB video recorded with a static camera. We leverage recent advances in computer vision using large-scale pre-trained models for a variety of modalities, including 2D body joints, joint angles, normalized disparity maps, and human segmentation masks. In particular, we estimate the scene depth and unique person scale from normalized disparity predictions using the 2D body joints and joint angles.
