High-fidelity 3D Human Digitization from Single 2K Resolution Images

High-quality 3D human body reconstruction requires high-fidelity and large-scale training data and appropriate network design that effectively exploits the high-resolution input images. To tackle these problems, we propose a simple yet effective 3D human digitization method called 2K2K, which constructs a large-scale 2K human dataset and infers 3D human models from 2K resolution images. The proposed method separately recovers the global shape of a human and its details. The low-resolution depth network predicts the global structure from a low-resolution image, and the part-wise image-to-normal network predicts the details of the 3D human body structure. The high-resolution depth network merges the global 3D shape and the detailed structures to infer the high-resolution front and back side depth maps. Finally, an off-the-shelf mesh generator reconstructs the full 3D human model, which are available at https://github.com/SangHunHan92/2K2K. In addition, we also provide 2,050 3D human models, including texture maps, 3D joints, and SMPL parameters for research purposes. In experiments, we demonstrate competitive performance over the recent works on various datasets.

Monocular Human Digitization via Implicit Re-projection Networks

We present an approach to generating 3D human models from images. The key to our framework is that we predict double-sided orthographic depth maps and color images from a single perspective projected image. Our framework consists of three networks. The first network predicts normal maps to recover geometric details such as wrinkles in the clothes and facial regions. The second network predicts shade-removed images for the front and back views by utilizing the predicted normal maps. The last multi-headed network takes both normal maps and shade-free images and predicts depth maps while selectively fusing photometric and geometric information through multi-headed attention gates. Experimental results demonstrate that our method shows visually plausible results and competitive performance in terms of various evaluation metrics over state-of-the-art methods.
