Probabilistic Human Mesh Recovery in 3D Scenes
from Egocentric Views




International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) 2023 (Oral)


We propose a novel scene-conditioned probabilistic method to recover the human mesh from an egocentric view image (typically with the body truncated) in the 3D environment.

Abstract

Automatic perception of human behaviors during social interactions is crucial for AR/VR applications, and an essential component is estimation of plausible 3D human pose and shape of our social partners from the egocentric view. One of the biggest challenges of this task is severe body truncation due to close social distances in egocentric scenarios, which brings large pose ambiguities for unseen body parts. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel scene-conditioned diffusion method to model the body pose distribution. Conditioned on the 3D scene geometry, the diffusion model generates bodies in plausible humanscene interactions, with the sampling guided by a physics-based collision score to further resolve human-scene interpenetrations. The classifier-free training enables flexible sampling with different conditions and enhanced diversity. A visibility-aware graph convolution model guided by perjoint visibility serves as the diffusion denoiser to incorporate inter-joint dependencies and per-body-part control. Extensive evaluations show that our method generates bodies in plausible interactions with 3D scenes, achieving both superior accuracy for visible joints and diversity for invisible body parts.
