Can we bridge the gap between perceiving camera trajectories and rendering novel views within a single generative framework? Recovering camera parameters from images and rendering scenes from novel viewpoints are considered the forward and inverse problems in the field of computer vision and graphic…
The model-based estimation of 3D animal pose and shape from images enables computational modeling of animal behavior. Training models for this purpose requires large amounts of labeled image data with precise pose and shape annotations. However, capturing such data requires the use of multi-view or…
We present SCULPT a novel 3D generative model for clothed and textured 3D meshes of humans. Specifically we devise a deep neural network that learns to represent the geometry and appearance distribution of clothed human bodies. Training such a model is challenging as datasets of textured 3D meshes f…
Synthesizing images of a person in novel poses from a single image is a highly ambiguous task. Most existing approaches require paired training images; i.e. images of the same person with the same clothing in different poses. However, obtaining sufficiently large datasets with paired data is challen…
The estimation of 3D face shape from a single image must be robust to variations in lighting, head pose, expression, facial hair, makeup, and occlusions. Robustness requires a large training set of in-the-wild images, which by construction, lack ground truth 3D shape. To train a network without any…
Learned 3D representations of human faces are useful for computer vision problems such as 3D face tracking and reconstruction from images, as well as graphics applications such as character generation and animation. Traditional models learn a latent representation of a face using linear subspaces or…
Pose invariant matching is a very important and challenging problem with various applications like recognizing faces in uncontrolled scenarios, matching objects taken from different view points, etc. In this paper, we propose a discriminative pose-free descriptor (DPFD) which can be used to match fa…
