The Skinned Multi-Person Linear model (SMPL) is a skinned vertex-based model that accurately represents a wide variety of body shapes in natural human poses that is compatible with existing graphics pipelines and iscompatible with existing rendering engines.
A Simple Yet Effective Baseline for 3d Human Pose Estimation
- Julieta Martinez, Rayat Hossain, J. Romero, J. Little
- Computer ScienceIEEE International Conference on Computer Vision
- 8 May 2017
The results indicate that a large portion of the error of modern deep 3d pose estimation systems stems from their visual analysis, and suggests directions to further advance the state of the art in 3d human pose estimation.

The first method to automatically estimate the 3D pose of the human body as well as its 3D shape from a single unconstrained image is described, showing superior pose accuracy with respect to the state of the art.

It is shown that, surprisingly, state of the art performance can be achieved by a simple baseline that does not attempt to model motion at all, and a simple and scalable RNN architecture is proposed that obtains state-of-the-art performance on human motion prediction.
FAUST: Dataset and Evaluation for 3D Mesh Registration
- Federica Bogo, J. Romero, M. Loper, Michael J. Black
- Computer ScienceIEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern…
- 23 June 2014
A novel mesh registration technique that combines 3D shape and appearance information to produce high-quality alignments is addressed with a new dataset called FAUST that contains 300 scans of 10 people in a wide range of poses together with an evaluation methodology.

This work presents SURREAL (Synthetic hUmans foR REAL tasks): a new large-scale dataset with synthetically-generated but realistic images of people rendered from 3D sequences of human motion capture data and shows that CNNs trained on this synthetic dataset allow for accurate human depth estimation and human part segmentation in real RGB images.

Faces Learned with an Articulated Model and Expressions is low-dimensional but more expressive than the FaceWarehouse model and the Basel Face Model and is compared to these models by fitting them to static 3D scans and 4D sequences using the same optimization method.
Dynamic FAUST: Registering Human Bodies in Motion
- Federica Bogo, J. Romero, Gerard Pons-Moll, Michael J. Black
- Computer ScienceComputer Vision and Pattern Recognition
- 21 July 2017
This work proposes a new mesh registration method that uses both 3D geometry and texture information to register all scans in a sequence to a common reference topology, and shows how using geometry alone results in significant errors in alignment when the motions are fast and non-rigid.
Unite the People: Closing the Loop Between 3D and 2D Human Representations
- Christoph Lassner, J. Romero, Martin Kiefel, Federica Bogo, Michael J. Black, Peter Gehler
- Computer ScienceComputer Vision and Pattern Recognition
- 10 January 2017
This work proposes a hybrid approach to 3D body model fits for multiple human pose datasets with an extended version of the recently introduced SMPLify method, and shows that UP-3D can be enhanced with these improved fits to grow in quantity and quality, which makes the system deployable on large scale.
