• Abstract: This paper proposes an end-to-end framework for generating 3D human pose datasets using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF). Public datasets generally have limited diversity in terms of human poses and camera viewpoints, largely due to the resource-intensive nature of collecting 3D human pose data. As a result, pose estimators trained on public datasets significantly underperform when applied to unseen out-of-distribution samples. Previous works proposed augmenting public datasets by generating 2D-3D pose pairs or rendering a large amount of random data. Such approaches either overlook image rendering or result in suboptimal datasets for pre-trained models. Here we propose PoseGen, which learns to generate a dataset (human 3D poses and images) with a feedback loss from a given pre-trained pose estimator. In contrast to prior art, our generated data is optimized to improve the robustness of the pre-trained model. The objective of PoseGen is to learn a distribution of data that maximizes the prediction error of a given pre-trained model. As the learned data distribution contains OOD samples of the pre-trained model, sampling data from such a distribution for further fine-tuning a pre-trained model improves the generalizability of the model. This is the first work that proposes NeRFs for 3D human data generation. NeRFs are data-driven and do not require 3D scans of humans. Therefore, using NeRF for data generation is a new direction for convenient user-specific data generation. Our extensive experiments show that the proposed PoseGen improves two baseline models (SPIN and HybrIK) on four datasets with an average 6% relative improvement.

  We propose a paradigm for seamlessly unifying different human pose and shape-related tasks and datasets. Our formulation is centered on the ability - both at training and test time - to query any arbitrary point of the human volume. We can naturally exploit differently annotated data sources including mesh, 2D/3D skeleton and dense pose, without having to convert between them.

  3D human pose forecasting, i.e., predicting a sequence of future human 3D poses given a sequence of past observed ones, is a challenging-temporal task. We provide a unified formulation in which incomplete elements (no matter in the prediction or observation) are treated as noise and propose a conditional diffusion model that denoises them and forecasts plausible poses. We investigate our findings on four standard datasets and obtain significant improvements over the state-of-the-art.

  Testing a pre-trained 3D pose estimator on a new dataset results in a major performance drop. We propose AdaptPose, an end-to-end framework that generates synthetic 3D human motions from a source dataset.
