3D human mesh reconstruction (HMR) from RGB images often degrades under poor illumination, occlusion, and non-line-of-sight conditions. Acoustic sensing provides complementary spatial cues but suffers from low spatial resolution. We propose SonicMesh, which, to the best of our knowledge, is the first acoustic--visual framework for robust 3D human mesh reconstruction. SonicMesh first converts ultrasonic echoes into range--azimuth acoustic images through an Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR)-based imaging process. It then introduces a cross-dimensional anatomical registration module that maps modality-specific 2D joint features into a common canonical 3D human space. The registered anatomical representations are further integrated with acoustic and visual features through a two-stage fusion network for final mesh reconstruction. Experiments demonstrate that SonicMesh achieves accurate and robust 3D human reconstruction across normal, poor-light, occluded, and non-line-of-sight environments, consistently outperforming existing RGB-, radio-frequency (RF)-, and mmWave-based approaches under challenging sensing conditions.
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) radar has emerged as a promising sensing modality for human perception due to its robustness under challenging environmental conditions and strong privacy-preserving properties. However, recovering accurate 3D human body meshes from radar observations remains difficult due to severe signal clutter and the inherently partial nature of radar measurements. Previous works typically adopt end-to-end frameworks that directly regress human body parameters from raw radar data, without decoupling signal interpretation from geometric reasoning or exploiting temporal motion cues, limiting learning performance. To address this, we propose a two-stage framework for radar-based human body reconstruction. First, we introduce a human reflection extraction module that performs coarse-to-fine localization and voxel-wise segmentation to produce a confidence-weighted radar volume encoding voxel-level human likelihood. Second, we design a motion-aware mesh recovery network that reconstructs the human body by jointly modeling per-frame geometry and inter-frame dynamics using a dual-branch architecture. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches while maintaining computational efficiency.
Human Mesh Recovery (HMR) is fundamentally ambiguous: under occlusion or weak depth cues, multiple 3D bodies can explain the same image evidence. This ambiguity is not uniform across the body, as torso pose and root structure are often relatively well constrained, whereas distal articulations such as the arms and legs are more uncertain. Building on this observation, we propose FactorizedHMR, a two-stage framework that treats these two regimes differently. A deterministic regression module first recovers a stable torso-root anchor, and a probabilistic flow-matching module then completes the remaining non-torso articulation. To make this completion reliable, we combine a composite target representation with geometry-aware supervision and feature-aware classifier-free guidance, preserving the torso-root anchor while improving single-reference recovery of ambiguity-prone articulation. We also introduce a synthetic data pipeline that provides the paired image-camera-motion supervision under diverse viewpoints. Across camera-space and world-space benchmarks, FactorizedHMR remains competitive with strong baselines, with the clearest gains in occlusion-heavy recovery and drift-sensitive world-space metrics.
While modern 3D reconstruction excels at modeling object geometry and appearance, it largely ignores the rich acoustic cues revealed through physical interaction. Object impact sounds convey material, stiffness, and structural properties that complement vision, yet existing impact sound modeling approaches either rely on expensive physics-based simulation or require large datasets to generalize in a purely data-driven manner. We introduce Audio-Visual Modal Sound Field (AV-MSF), a novel object-level acoustic representation reconstructed from multi-view images and only a few impact sound recordings. AV-MSF builds on 3D Gaussian Splatting integrated with dense 3D visual feature to provide a strong geometry-aware prior, and represents the impact sound field using compact, physically meaningful modal parameters, enabling robust few-shot reconstruction. Experiments on two real-world datasets show that AV-MSF achieves state-of-the-art impact sound rendering, outperforming both physics-based and data-driven baselines. Furthermore, we demonstrate downstream applications enabled by our representation, including contact localization and object sound editing.
