• Authors: Honghu Chen, Yuxin Yao, Juyong Zhang,
• Abstract summary: We introduce Neural-ABC, a novel model that can represent clothed human bodies with disentangled latent spaces for identity, clothing, shape, and pose. Our model excels at disentangling clothing and identity in different shape and poses while preserving the style of the clothing. Compared to other state-of-the-art parametric models, Neural-ABC demonstrates powerful advantages in the reconstruction of clothed human bodies.

• Abstract: In this paper, we introduce Neural-ABC, a novel parametric model based on neural implicit functions that can represent clothed human bodies with disentangled latent spaces for identity, clothing, shape, and pose. Traditional mesh-based representations struggle to represent articulated bodies with clothes due to the diversity of human body shapes and clothing styles, as well as the complexity of poses. Our proposed model provides a unified framework for parametric modeling, which can represent the identity, clothing, shape and pose of the clothed human body. Our proposed approach utilizes the power of neural implicit functions as the underlying representation and integrates well-designed structures to meet the necessary requirements. Specifically, we represent the underlying body as a signed distance function and clothing as an unsigned distance function, and they can be uniformly represented as unsigned distance fields. Different types of clothing do not require predefined topological structures or classifications, and can follow changes in the underlying body to fit the body. Additionally, we construct poses using a controllable articulated structure. The model is trained on both open and newly constructed datasets, and our decoupling strategy is carefully designed to ensure optimal performance. Our model excels at disentangling clothing and identity in different shape and poses while preserving the style of the clothing. We demonstrate that Neural-ABC fits new observations of different types of clothing. Compared to other state-of-the-art parametric models, Neural-ABC demonstrates powerful advantages in the reconstruction of clothed human bodies, as evidenced by fitting raw scans, depth maps and images. We show that the attributes of the fitted results can be further edited by adjusting their identities, clothing, shape and pose codes.

  PocoLoco is the first template-free, point-based, pose-conditioned generative model for 3D humans in loose clothing. We formulate avatar clothing deformation as a conditional point-cloud generation task within the denoising diffusion framework. We release a dataset of two subjects performing various poses in loose clothing with a total of 75K point clouds.

  We take a different approach and model the dynamics of a garment by exploiting its local interactions with the underlying human body. Specifically, as the body moves, we detect local garment-body collisions, which drive the deformation of the garment. At the core of our approach is a mesh-agnostic garment representation and a manifold-aware transformer network design.

  Parametric 3D body models like SMPL only represent minimally-clothed people and are hard to extend to clothing. We extend point-based methods with a coarse stage, that replaces canonicalization with a learned pose-independent "coarse shape" The approach works well for garments that both conform to, and deviate from, the body.

We complement our geometric model with appearance modeling that uses the point cloud geometry as a geometric scaffolding.
