PhyDeformer: High-Quality Non-Rigid Garment Registration with Physics-Awareness

We present PhyDeformer, a new deformation method for high-quality garment mesh registration. It operates in two phases: In the first phase, a garment grading is performed to achieve a coarse 3D alignment between the mesh template and the target mesh, accounting for proportional scaling and fit (e.g. length, size). Then, the graded mesh is refined to align with the fine-grained details of the 3D target through an optimization coupled with the Jacobian-based deformation framework. Both quantitative and qualitative evaluations on synthetic and real garments highlight the effectiveness of our method.
