• Abstract summary: Text-to-image generative models can generate high-quality humans, but realism is lost when generating hands. Common artifacts include irregular hand poses, shapes, incorrect numbers of fingers, and physically implausible finger orientations. We propose a novel diffusion-based architecture called HanDiffuser that achieves realism by injecting hand embeddings in the generative process.

• Abstract: Text-to-image generative models can generate high-quality humans, but realism is lost when generating hands. Common artifacts include irregular hand poses, shapes, incorrect numbers of fingers, and physically implausible finger orientations. To generate images with realistic hands, we propose a novel diffusion-based architecture called HanDiffuser that achieves realism by injecting hand embeddings in the generative process. HanDiffuser consists of two components: a Text-to-Hand-Params diffusion model to generate SMPL-Body and MANO-Hand parameters from input text prompts, and a Text-Guided Hand-Params-to-Image diffusion model to synthesize images by conditioning on the prompts and hand parameters generated by the previous component. We incorporate multiple aspects of hand representation, including 3D shapes and joint-level finger positions, orientations and articulations, for robust learning and reliable performance during inference. We conduct extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments and perform user studies to demonstrate the efficacy of our method in generating images with high-quality hands.

  We propose a novel approach named Hand1000 that enables the generation of realistic hand images with target gesture. The training of Hand1000 is divided into three stages with the first stage aiming to enhance the model's understanding of hand anatomy. We construct the first publicly available dataset specifically designed for text-to-hand image generation.

  diffusion models can generate high-quality human images, but their applications are limited by the instability in generating hands with correct structures. We propose a conditional diffusion-based framework RHanDS to refine the hand region with the help of decoupled structure and style guidance. The experimental results show that RHanDS can effectively refine hands structure- and style- correctly compared with previous methods.

  We present HandBooster, a new approach to uplift the data diversity and boost the 3D hand-mesh reconstruction performance. First, we construct versatile content-aware conditions to guide a diffusion model to produce realistic images with diverse hand appearances, poses, views, and backgrounds. Then, we design a novel condition creator based on our similarity-aware distribution sampling strategies to deliberately find novel and realistic interaction poses that are distinctive from the training set.

• Giving a Hand to Diffusion Models: a Two-Stage Approach to Improving Conditional Human Image Generation [29.79050316749927]
  We introduce a novel approach to pose-conditioned human image generation, dividing the process into two stages: hand generation and subsequent body outpainting around the hands. A novel blending technique is introduced to preserve the hand details during the second stage that combines the results of both stages in a coherent way. Our approach not only enhances the quality of the generated hands but also offers improved control over hand pose, advancing the capabilities of pose-conditioned human image generation.
