• Abstract summary: We present Layered Gaussian Avatars (LayGA), a new representation that formulates body and clothing as two separate layers. Our representation is built upon the Gaussian map-based avatar for its excellent representation power of garment details. In the single-layer reconstruction stage, we propose a series of geometric constraints to reconstruct smooth surfaces. In the multi-layer fitting stage, we train two separate models to represent body and clothing and utilize the reconstructed clothing geometries as 3D supervision.

• Abstract: Animatable clothing transfer, aiming at dressing and animating garments across characters, is a challenging problem. Most human avatar works entangle the representations of the human body and clothing together, which leads to difficulties for virtual try-on across identities. What's worse, the entangled representations usually fail to exactly track the sliding motion of garments. To overcome these limitations, we present Layered Gaussian Avatars (LayGA), a new representation that formulates body and clothing as two separate layers for photorealistic animatable clothing transfer from multi-view videos. Our representation is built upon the Gaussian map-based avatar for its excellent representation power of garment details. However, the Gaussian map produces unstructured 3D Gaussians distributed around the actual surface. The absence of a smooth explicit surface raises challenges in accurate garment tracking and collision handling between body and garments. Therefore, we propose two-stage training involving single-layer reconstruction and multi-layer fitting. In the single-layer reconstruction stage, we propose a series of geometric constraints to reconstruct smooth surfaces and simultaneously obtain the segmentation between body and clothing. Next, in the multi-layer fitting stage, we train two separate models to represent body and clothing and utilize the reconstructed clothing geometries as 3D supervision for more accurate garment tracking. Furthermore, we propose geometry and rendering layers for both high-quality geometric reconstruction and high-fidelity rendering. Overall, the proposed LayGA realizes photorealistic animations and virtual try-on, and outperforms other baseline methods. Our project page is https://jsnln.github.io/layga/index.html.

  PERGAMO is a data-driven approach to learn a deformable model for 3D garments from monocular images. We first introduce a novel method to reconstruct the 3D geometry of garments from a single image, and use it to build a dataset of clothing from monocular videos. We show that our method is capable of producing garment animations that match the real-world behaviour, and generalizes to unseen body motions extracted from motion capture dataset.

  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.

  Learning to reconstruct 3D garments is important for dressing 3D human bodies of different shapes in different poses. Previous works typically rely on 2D images as input, which however suffer from the scale and pose ambiguities. We propose a principled framework, Garment4D, that uses 3D point cloud sequences of dressed humans for garment reconstruction.
