DeformNet: Free-Form Deformation Network for 3D Shape Reconstruction from a Single Image
3D reconstruction from a single image is a key problem in multiple
applications ranging from robotic manipulation to augmented reality. Prior
methods have tackled this problem through generative models which predict 3D
reconstructions as voxels or point clouds. However, these methods can be
computationally expensive and miss fine details. We introduce a new
differentiable layer for 3D data deformation and use it in DeformNet to learn a
model for 3D reconstruction-through-deformation. DeformNet takes an image
input, searches the nearest shape template from a database, and deforms the
template to match the query image. We evaluate our approach on the ShapeNet
dataset and show that - (a) the Free-Form Deformation layer is a powerful new
building block for Deep Learning models that manipulate 3D data (b) DeformNet
uses this FFD layer combined with shape retrieval for smooth and
detail-preserving 3D reconstruction of qualitatively plausible point clouds
with respect to a single query image (c) compared to other state-of-the-art 3D
reconstruction methods, DeformNet quantitatively matches or outperforms their
benchmarks by significant margins. For more information, visit:

Learning Implicit Templates for Point-Based Clothed Human Modeling
We present FITE, a First-Implicit-Then-Explicit framework for modeling human
avatars in clothing. Our framework first learns implicit surface templates
representing the coarse clothing topology, and then employs the templates to
guide the generation of point sets which further capture pose-dependent
clothing deformations such as wrinkles. Our pipeline incorporates the merits of
both implicit and explicit representations, namely, the ability to handle
varying topology and the ability to efficiently capture fine details. We also
propose diffused skinning to facilitate template training especially for loose
clothing, and projection-based pose-encoding to extract pose information from
mesh templates without predefined UV map or connectivity. Our code is publicly
available at https://github.com/jsnln/fite.Comment: Accepted to ECCV 202
