BCNet: Learning Body and Cloth Shape from A Single Image
This enables applications like re-pose and garment transfer for computer graphics and virtual try-on, but it is incremental as it builds on layered representations like SMPL.
The paper tackles the problem of reconstructing both body and garment shapes from a single near-front view RGB image, achieving more accurate geometry and supporting more garment categories compared to existing methods.
In this paper, we consider the problem to automatically reconstruct garment and body shapes from a single near-front view RGB image. To this end, we propose a layered garment representation on top of SMPL and novelly make the skinning weight of garment independent of the body mesh, which significantly improves the expression ability of our garment model. Compared with existing methods, our method can support more garment categories and recover more accurate geometry. To train our model, we construct two large scale datasets with ground truth body and garment geometries as well as paired color images. Compared with single mesh or non-parametric representation, our method can achieve more flexible control with separate meshes, makes applications like re-pose, garment transfer, and garment texture mapping possible.
