The reconstruction of realistic and precise human meshes in world coordinates is facilitated by considering scene information. Challenges related to accuracy, robustness, and computation time are faced by existing absolute human mesh recovery methods. In this paper, a one-stage model for absolute human mesh recovery with superior reconstruction precision and inference speed is presented. The proposed one-stage model is composed of two parallel branches to achieve root position estimation and human mesh regression. To effectively connect the two branches, a scene-image information aggregation module is designed. The accuracy of the estimated human meshes is improved and the end-to-end training of the whole model is facilitated by this module. Experiments are conducted on three diverse datasets, and a GMPJPE decrease of 72.3 mm/27.32% and an MPJPE reduction of 25.6 mm/27.26% are achieved by the proposed method with the lowest inference time compared to previous SOTA methods.

Recently, learning signed distance functions (SDFs) from point clouds has become popular for reconstruction. To ensure accuracy, most methods require using high-resolution Marching Cubes for surface extraction. However, this results in redundant mesh elements, making the mesh inconvenient to use. To solve the problem, we propose an adaptive meshing method to extract resolution-adaptive meshes based on surface curvature, enabling the recovery of high-fidelity lightweight meshes. Specifically, we first use point-based representation to perceive implicit surfaces and calculate surface curvature. A vertex generator is designed to produce curvature-adaptive vertices with any specified number on the implicit surface, preserving the overall structure and high-curvature features. Then we develop a Delaunay meshing algorithm to generate meshes from vertices, ensuring geometric fidelity and correct topology. In addition, to obtain accurate SDFs for adaptive meshing and achieve better lightweight reconstruction, we design a hybrid representation combining feature grid and feature tri-plane for better detail capture. Experiments demonstrate that our method can generate high-quality lightweight meshes from point clouds. Compared with methods from various categories, our approach achieves superior results, especially in capturing more details with fewer elements.

Recently, there has been a growing interest in 3D CNN-based stereo matching methods due to their remarkable accuracy. However, the high complexity of 3D convolution makes it challenging to strike a balance between accuracy and speed. Notably, explicit 3D volumes contain considerable redundancy. In this study, we delve into more compact 2D implicit network to eliminate redundancy and boost real-time performance. However, simply replacing explicit 3D networks with 2D implicit networks causes issues that can lead to performance degradation, including the loss of structural information, the quality decline of inter-image information, as well as the inaccurate regression caused by low-level features. To address these issues, we first integrate intra-image information to fuse with inter-image information, facilitating propagation guided by structural cues. Subsequently, we introduce the Fast Multi-scale Score Volume (FMSV) and Confidence Based Filtering (CBF) to efficiently acquire accurate multi-scale, noise-free inter-image information. Furthermore, combined with the Residual Context-aware Upsampler (RCU), our Intra-Inter Fusing network is meticulously designed to enhance information transmission on both feature-level and disparity-level, thereby enabling accurate and robust regression. Experimental results affirm the superiority of our network in terms of both speed and accuracy compared to all other fast methods.
