The shape of the human body plays an important role in many applications, such as those involving personal healthcare and virtual clothing try-ons. However, accurate body shape measurements typically require the user to be wearing a minimal amount of clothing, which is not practical in many situations. To resolve this issue using deep learning techniques, we need a paired dataset of ground-truth naked human body shapes and their corresponding color images with clothes. As it is practically impossible to collect enough of this kind of data from real-world environments to train a deep neural network, in this paper, we present the Synthetic dataset of Human Avatars under wiDE gaRment (SHADER). The SHADER dataset consists of 300,000 paired ground-truth naked and dressed images of 1,500 synthetic humans with different body shapes, poses, garments, skin tones, and backgrounds. To take full advantage of SHADER, we propose a novel silhouette confidence measure and show that our silhouette confidence prediction network can help improve the performance of state-of-the-art shape estimation networks for human bodies under clothing. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. The code and dataset are available athttps://github.com/YCL92/SHADER.
