• Abstract: No augmented application is possible without animated humanoid avatars. At the same time, generating human replicas from real-world monocular hand-held or robotic sensor setups is challenging due to the limited availability of views. Previous work showed the feasibility of virtual avatars but required the presence of 360 degree views of the targeted subject. To address this issue, we propose HINT, a NeRF-based algorithm able to learn a detailed and complete human model from limited viewing angles. We achieve this by introducing a symmetry prior, regularization constraints, and training cues from large human datasets. In particular, we introduce a sagittal plane symmetry prior to the appearance of the human, directly supervise the density function of the human model using explicit 3D body modeling, and leverage a co-learned human digitization network as additional supervision for the unseen angles. As a result, our method can reconstruct complete humans even from a few viewing angles, increasing performance by more than 15% PSNR compared to previous state-of-the-art algorithms.

  We propose a fully explicit approach to construct a digital avatar from as little as a single monocular sequence. ParDy-Human constitutes an explicit model for realistic dynamic human avatars which requires significantly fewer training views and images. Our avatars learning is free of additional annotations such as Splat masks and can be trained with variable backgrounds while inferring full-resolution images efficiently even on consumer hardware.

  We propose to learn person-specific animatable avatars from images without assuming to have access to precise facial expression tracking. We learn a mapping from 3DMM facial expression parameters to the latent space of the generative model. With this scheme, we decouple 3D appearance reconstruction and animation control to achieve high fidelity in image synthesis.

  We propose a pre-training approach based on self-supervised learning that works on human-centric data using only images. We pre-train a model for body-centric tasks and one for hand-centric tasks. With a generic transformer architecture, these models outperform existing self-supervised pre-training methods on a wide set of human-centric downstream tasks.

  AvatarGen is the first method that enables not only non-rigid human generation with diverse appearance but also full control over poses and viewpoints. To model non-rigid dynamics, it introduces a deformation network to learn pose-dependent deformations in the canonical space. Our method can generate animatable human avatars with high-quality appearance and geometry modeling, significantly outperforming previous 3D GANs.
