We address the problem of fitting 3D human models to 3D scans of dressed humans. Classical methods optimize both the data-to-model correspondences and the human model parameters (pose and shape), but are reliable only when initialized close to the solution. Some methods initialize the optimization based on fully supervised correspondence predictors, which is not differentiable end-to-end, and can only process a single scan at a time. Our main contribution is LoopReg, an end-to-end learning framework to register a corpus of scans to a common 3D human model. The key idea is to create a self-supervised loop. A backward map, parameterized by a Neural Network, predicts the correspondence from every scan point to the surface of the human model. A forward map, parameterized by a human model, transforms the corresponding points back to the scan based on the model parameters (pose and shape), thus closing the loop. Formulating this closed loop is not straightforward because it is not trivial to force the output of the NN to be on the surface of the human model - outside this surface the human model is not even defined. To this end, we propose two key innovations. First, we define the canonical surface implicitly as the zero level set of a distance field in R3, which in contrast to morecommon UV parameterizations, does not require cutting the surface, does not have discontinuities, and does not induce distortion. Second, we diffuse the human model to the 3D domain R3. This allows to map the NN predictions forward,even when they slightly deviate from the zero level set. Results demonstrate that we can train LoopRegmainly self-supervised - following a supervised warm-start, the model becomes increasingly more accurate as additional unlabelled raw scans are processed. Our code and pre-trained models can be downloaded for research.

We present imGHUM, the first holistic generative model of 3D human shape and articulated pose, represented as a signed distance function. In contrast to prior work, we model the full human body implicitly as a function zero-level-set and without the use of an explicit template mesh. We propose a novel network architecture and a learning paradigm, which make it possible to learn a detailed implicit generative model of human pose, shape, and semantics, on par with state-of-the-art mesh-based models. Our model features desired detail for human models, such as articulated pose including hand motion and facial expressions, a broad spectrum of shape variations, and can be queried at arbitrary resolutions and spatial locations. Additionally, our model has attached spatial semantics making it straightforward to establish correspondences between different shape instances, thus enabling applications that are difficult to tackle using classical implicit representations. In extensive experiments, we demonstrate the model accuracy and its applicability to current research problems.
Estimating 3D hand pose directly from RGB imagesis challenging but has gained steady progress recently bytraining deep models with annotated 3D poses. Howeverannotating 3D poses is difficult and as such only a few 3Dhand pose datasets are available, all with limited samplesizes. In this study, we propose a new framework of training3D pose estimation models from RGB images without usingexplicit 3D annotations, i.e., trained with only 2D informa-tion. Our framework is motivated by two observations: 1)Videos provide richer information for estimating 3D posesas opposed to static images; 2) Estimated 3D poses oughtto be consistent whether the videos are viewed in the for-ward order or reverse order. We leverage these two obser-vations to develop a self-supervised learning model calledtemporal-aware self-supervised network (TASSN). By en-forcing temporal consistency constraints, TASSN learns 3Dhand poses and meshes from videos with only 2D keypointposition annotations. Experiments show that our modelachieves surprisingly good results, with 3D estimation ac-curacy on par with the state-of-the-art models trained with3D annotations, highlighting the benefit of the temporalconsistency in constraining 3D prediction models.
Monocular 3D human pose and shape estimation is challenging due to the many degrees of freedom of the human body and thedifficulty to acquire training data for large-scale supervised learning in complex visual scenes. In this paper we present practic al semi-supervised and self-supervised models that support training and good generalization in real-world images and video. Our formulation is based on kinematic latent normalizing flow representations and dynamics, as well as differentiable, semantic body part alignment loss functions that support self-supervised learning. In extensive experiments using 3D motion capture datasets like CMU, Human3.6M, 3DPW, or AMASS, as well as image repositories like COCO, we show that the proposed methods outperform the state of the art, supporting the practical construction of an accurate family of models based on large-scale training with diverse and incompletely labeled image and video data.
Regression-based methods have recently shown promising results in reconstructing human meshes from monocular images. By directly mapping raw pixels to model parameters, these methods can produce parametric models in a feed-forward manner via neural n etworks. However, minor deviation in parameters may lead to noticeable misalignment between the estimated meshes and image evidences. To address this issue, we propose a Pyramidal Mesh Alignment Feedback (PyMAF) loop to leverage a feature pyramid and rectify the predicted parameters explicitly based on the mesh-image alignment status in our deep regressor. In PyMAF, given the currently predicted parameters, mesh-aligned evidences will be extracted from finer-resolution features accordingly and fed back for parameter rectification. To reduce noise and enhance the reliability of these evidences, an auxiliary pixel-wise supervision is imposed on the feature encoder, which provides mesh-image correspondence guidance for our network to preserve the most related information in spatial features. The efficacy of our approach is validated on several benchmarks, including Human3.6M, 3DPW, LSP, and COCO, where experimental results show that our approach consistently improves the mesh-image alignment of the reconstruction.

A key challenge in the task of human pose and shape estimation is occlusion, including self-occlusions, object-human occlusions, and inter-person occlusions. The lack of diverse and accurate pose and shape training data becomes a major bottleneck, es pecially for scenes with occlusions in the wild. In this paper, we focus on the estimation of human pose and shape in the case of inter-person occlusions, while also handling object-human occlusions and self-occlusion. We propose a framework that synthesizes occlusion-aware silhouette and 2D keypoints data and directly regress to the SMPL pose and shape parameters. A neural 3D mesh renderer is exploited to enable silhouette supervision on the fly, which contributes to great improvements in shape estimation. In addition, keypoints-and-silhouette-driven training data in panoramic viewpoints are synthesized to compensate for the lack of viewpoint diversity in any existing dataset. Experimental results show that we are among state-of-the-art on the 3DPW dataset in terms of pose accuracy and evidently outperform the rank-1 method in terms of shape accuracy. Top performance is also achieved on SSP-3D in terms of shape prediction accuracy.
