3D Human Mesh Recovery

3D human mesh recovery aims to reconstruct a 3D model of a human body from images or videos, focusing on accurately capturing pose and shape. Recent research emphasizes robust performance in challenging scenarios like occlusion and out-of-distribution data, employing transformer-based architectures, diffusion models, and techniques that leverage both 2D and 3D information, including multi-view data and LiDAR point clouds. These advancements improve accuracy and efficiency, with applications in areas such as virtual reality, animation, and human motion analysis. The field is also exploring unified models capable of handling both humans and animals.
