We employ two MLPs to model pose-dependent deformation and linear skinning (LBS) weights. The representation of appearance relies on a decoder and the features that attached to each point. In contrast to alternative implicit approaches, the oriented points representation not only provides a more intuitive way to model human avatar animation but also significantly reduces both training and inference time. Moreover, we propose a novel method to transfer semantic information from the SMPL-X model to the points, which enables to better understand human body movements. By leveraging the semantic information of points, we can facilitate virtual try-on and human avatar composition through exchanging the points of same category across different subjects. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our presented method.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.11614v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2311.11614v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"semantic-preserved-point-based-human-avatar","repo_url":"https://github.com/l1346792580123/spa","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"decoder","task_name":"Decoder"},{"task_slug":"virtual-try-on","task_name":"Virtual Try-on"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
