Object functionality is often expressed through part articulation -- as when the two rigid parts of a scissor pivot against each other to perform the cutting function. Such articulations are often similar across objects within the same…

The appearance of a human in clothing is driven not only by the pose but also by its temporal context, i.e., motion. However, such context has been largely neglected by existing monocular human modeling methods whose neural networks often…
