Estimation of human body shape and posture under clothing

A 2D Human Body Model Dressed in Eigen Clothing

Detection, tracking, segmentation and pose estimation of people in monocular images are widely studied. Two-dimensional models of the human body are extensively used, however, they are typically fairly crude, representing the body either as a rough outline or in terms of articulated geometric primitives. We describe a new 2D model of the human body contour that combines an underlying naked body...

Recognition of Human Body Posture from a Cloud of 3D Data Points using Wavelet Transform Coefficients

This paper addresses the problem of recognizing a human body posture from a cloud of 3D points acquired by a Human body scanner. Motivated by finding a representation that embodies a high discrimination power between posture classes, a new type of features is suggested, namely, the wavelet transform coefficients (WTC) of the 3D data points distribution projected on the space of the spherical ha...

Virtual Human Bodies with Clothing and Hair: From Images to Animation

of “Virtual Human Bodies with Clothing and Hair: From Images to Animation” by Peng Guan, Ph.D, Brown University, May 2013 Realistic clothing and hair animation are necessary for many applications such as special effects, gaming, and on-line fashion. Thanks to the advances in computer graphics, highly realistic clothing and hair animation is common in recent animated movies by use of Physics Bas...

Virtual Fitting by Single-shot Body Shape Estimation

We propose a novel virtual fitting system for seamlessly adjusting 2D clothing images to users by inferring their 3D body shape models from single-shot depth images. To increase fitting accuracy between virtual clothes and the body of the user, the system transforms and overlays the clothing image onto the body image in real time. Observations indicate that the system attains high fitting accur...
