Videos from edited media like movies are a useful, yet under-explored source of information. The rich variety of appearance and interactions between humans depicted over a large temporal context in these films could be a valuable source of data. However, the richness of data comes at the expense of fundamental challenges such as abrupt shot changes and close up shots of actors with heavy truncation, which limits the applicability of existing human 3D understanding methods. In this paper, we address these limitations with an insight that while shot changes of the same scene incur a discontinuity between frames, the 3D structure of the scene still changes smoothly. This allows us to handle frames before and after the shot change as multi-view signal that provide strong cues to recover the 3D state of the actors. We propose a multi-shot optimization framework, which leads to improved 3D reconstruction and mining of long sequences with pseudo ground truth 3D human mesh. We show that the resulting data is beneficial in the training of various human mesh recovery models: for single image, we achieve improved robustness; for video we propose a pure transformer-based temporal encoder, which can naturally handle missing observations due to shot changes in the input frames. We demonstrate the importance of the insight and proposed models through extensive experiments. The tools we develop open the door to processing and analyzing in 3D content from a large library of edited media, which could be helpful for many downstream applications.

This paper presents a novel unsupervised approach to reconstruct human shape and pose from noisy point cloud. Traditional approaches search for correspondences and conduct model fitting iteratively where a good initialization is critical. Relying on
This paper focuses on the problem of 3D human reconstruction from 2D evidence. Although this is an inherently ambiguous problem, the majority of recent works avoid the uncertainty modeling and typically regress a single estimate for a given input. In
We consider the problem of estimating frame-level full human body meshes given a video of a person with natural motion dynamics. While much progress in this field has been in single image-based mesh estimation, there has been a recent uptick in effor
The end-to-end Human Mesh Recovery (HMR) approach has been successfully used for 3D body reconstruction. However, most HMR-based frameworks reconstruct human body by directly learning mesh parameters from images or videos, while lacking explicit guid
Registering point clouds of dressed humans to parametric human models is a challenging task in computer vision. Traditional approaches often rely on heavily engineered pipelines that require accurate manual initialization of human poses and tedious p
