Learning to Estimate Robust 3D Human Mesh from In-the-Wild Crowded Scenes
Hongsuk Choi, Gyeongsik Moon, JoonKyu Park, Kyoung Mu Lee
We consider the problem of recovering a single person's 3D human mesh from in-the-wild crowded scenes. While much progress has been in 3D human mesh estimation, existing methods struggle when test input has crowded scenes. The first reason for the failure is a domain gap between training and testing data. A motion capture dataset, which provides accurate 3D labels for training, lacks crowd data and impedes a network from learning crowded scene-robust image features of a target person. The second reason is a feature processing that spatially averages the feature map of a localized bounding box containing multiple people. Averaging the whole feature map makes a target person's feature indistinguishable from others. We present 3DCrowdNet that firstly explicitly targets in-the-wild crowded scenes and estimates a robust 3D human mesh by addressing the above issues. First, we leverage 2D human pose estimation that does not require a motion capture dataset with 3D labels for training and does not suffer from the domain gap. Second, we propose a joint-based regressor that distinguishes a target person's feature from others. Our joint-based regressor preserves the spatial activation of a target by sampling features from the target's joint locations and regresses human model parameters. As a result, 3DCrowdNet learns target-focused features and effectively excludes the irrelevant features of nearby persons. We conduct experiments on various benchmarks and prove the robustness of 3DCrowdNet to the in-the-wild crowded scenes both quantitatively and qualitatively. The code is available at https://github.com/hongsukchoi/3DCrowdNet_RELEASE.

Code
Syntology Ran 3 of 9 code samples harvested from 1 repository linked to this paper; 6 have no recorded run. Of those that ran: 3 ran with no contract checked.
By repository: official repository: 9 samples from 1 repository, 3 ran. The run record, sample by sample. “Ran” means executed on a synthesized input, not that the code is correct or reproduces the paper.
Repository list and official/mentioned flags are the archive's, frozen 2025-07-28. Reachability, where shown, is from one Syntology probe window (2026-09-16 to 2026-09-18); repositories not probed show nothing. GitHub stars are not tracked.
Code Syntology ran Syntology
9 samples harvested; 3 ran; 0 honoured the contract we drafted; 6 have no recorded run. Read from Syntology's graph 2026-09-24; that is when this build read the record, not when the samples ran.
Licence: 0 of the 9 samples are pointer only, meaning Syntology does not serve that copy's text. This page shows no code text for any sample; each one links to its file in the repository.
Harvested from hongsukchoi/3dcrowdnet_release. “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized input. It does not mean the output is correct, and nothing here reproduces the paper's results. “Honoured” and “violated” refer to a contract Syntology drafted from the code itself; “our draft was wrong” and “fixture could not drive it” are failures of Syntology's instrument, not of the code.
Each sample ends with its code_sha256, Syntology's identity for that exact code. An agent fetches the stored sample with Syntology's MCP tool get_code(code_sha256="…") (how to connect); click an identity to copy that call.
Repository labels, per sample. official repository: The archive marks this repository official for the paper. named in the paper: The archive records that the paper mentions this repository; it is not marked official. community (archive-listed): In the archive's code links for this paper, not marked official and not recorded as mentioned in the paper. found in paper text by Syntology: Syntology found this repository in the paper's own text; whether it is the authors' implementation is not asserted. community: Not in the archive's code links for this paper; a community repository Syntology harvested. Samples from a repository marked official are listed first. Licence labels name the repository's licence as recorded at harvest. “Pointer only” means Syntology does not serve that copy's text, for one of four reasons: no licence file was found; the licence was not identified; the licence is recorded as permissive but that copy's record is not marked cleared; or the licence is outside the permissive list Syntology serves text under (MIT, Apache-2.0, BSD and similar). Some licences outside that list permit redistribution, such as WTFPL, and GPL-3.0 under its conditions; they are simply not on the list. Hover a licence label for the reason. File links open the file on GitHub at the default branch, which may have changed since the harvest.
