In this paper, we address the problem of estimating a 3D human pose from a single image, which is important but difficult to solve due to many reasons, such as self-occlusions, wild appearance changes, and inherent ambiguities of 3D…

The regression of 3D Human Pose and Shape (HPS) from an image is becoming increasingly accurate. This makes the results useful for downstream tasks like human action recognition or 3D graphics. Yet, no regressor is perfect, and accuracy can…

Human re-rendering from a single image is a starkly under-constrained problem, and state-of-the-art algorithms often exhibit undesired artefacts, such as over-smoothing, unrealistic distortions of the body parts and garments, or implausible…
