Abstract:

We present a complete pipeline for constructing a statistical shape model that is invariant to deviations in the scan pose while encoding the space of human pose and body shape in an efficient manner. A dense cross-parameterization between a large set of high-quality 3D scans is computed using a fast and robust volume aware non-rigid registration method. Our approach uses a novel encoding that automatically decorrelates shape and pose leading to a statistical model that is oblivious under transformations induced by pose. This allows us to efficiently compensate pose variations in captured input data leading to a compact representation for pose as well as body shape. We present a local as well as a global skeletal encoding and compare both approaches. Finally, we analyze the generalization properties and accuracy of our approach against two state-of-the-art methods. We apply our model to the data clustering problem and use it as a prior for non-rigid shape matching.
