3D Human Shape Estimation

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

2 leaderboard tables shown for this task, 2 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.

19 shown of 19 papers with code (33 tagged with this task in all), ordered by repositories listed in the archive, not by stars (the archive holds no stars, so PwC's “Social” and “Latest” sorts cannot be reproduced). Papers without a page here are shown as plain text.

• End-to-end Recovery of Human Shape and Pose
  18 Dec 2017 10 repositories listed
  The main objective is to minimize the reprojection loss of keypoints, which allow our model to be trained using images in-the-wild that only have ground truth 2D annotations.
• PIFuHD: Multi-Level Pixel-Aligned Implicit Function for High-Resolution 3D Human Digitization
  1 Apr 2020 3 repositories listed
  Although current approaches have demonstrated the potential in real world settings, they still fail to produce reconstructions with the level of detail often present in the input images.
• AnthroNet: Conditional Generation of Humans via Anthropometrics
  7 Sep 2023 2 repositories listed
  We present a novel human body model formulated by an extensive set of anthropocentric measurements, which is capable of generating a wide range of human body shapes and poses.
• ICON: Implicit Clothed humans Obtained from Normals
  16 Dec 2021 2 repositories listed
  First, ICON infers detailed clothed-human normals (front/back) conditioned on the SMPL(-X) normals.
• ETCH: Generalizing Body Fitting to Clothed Humans via Equivariant Tightness
  13 Mar 2025 1 repository listed
  We propose Equivariant Tightness Fitting for Clothed Humans, or ETCH, a novel pipeline that estimates cloth-to-body surface mapping through locally approximate SE(3) equivariance, encoding tightness as displacement…
• Super-resolution 3D Human Shape from a Single Low-Resolution Image
  23 Aug 2022 1 repository listed
  The approach overcomes limitations of existing approaches that reconstruct 3D human shape from a single image, which require high-resolution images together with auxiliary data such as surface normal or a parametric…
• Accurate 3D Body Shape Regression using Metric and Semantic Attributes
  14 Jun 2022 1 repository listed
  Since paired data with images and 3D body shape are rare, we exploit two sources of information: (1) we collect internet images of diverse "fashion" models together with a small set of anthropometric measurements; (2)…
• Human Performance Capture from Monocular Video in the Wild
  29 Nov 2021 1 repository listed Syntology ran 3 of 11 samples · 8 unverified
  In this work, we propose a method capable of capturing the dynamic 3D human shape from a monocular video featuring challenging body poses, without any additional input.
• A Lightweight Graph Transformer Network for Human Mesh Reconstruction from 2D Human Pose
  24 Nov 2021 1 repository listed
  We propose a pose analysis module that uses graph transformers to exploit structured and implicit joint correlations, and a mesh regression module that combines the extracted pose feature with the mesh template to…
• Body Size and Depth Disambiguation in Multi-Person Reconstruction from Single Images
  2 Nov 2021 1 repository listed
  We address the problem of multi-person 3D body pose and shape estimation from a single image.
• Leveraging MoCap Data for Human Mesh Recovery
  18 Oct 2021 1 repository listed
  In fact, we show that simply fine-tuning the batch normalization layers of the model is enough to achieve large gains.
• Hierarchical Kinematic Probability Distributions for 3D Human Shape and Pose Estimation from Images in the Wild
  3 Oct 2021 1 repository listed Syntology ran 6 of 11 samples · 5 unverified
  Thus, it is desirable to estimate a distribution over 3D body shape and pose conditioned on the input image instead of a single 3D reconstruction.
• LASOR: Learning Accurate 3D Human Pose and Shape Via Synthetic Occlusion-Aware Data and Neural Mesh Rendering
  1 Aug 2021 1 repository listed Syntology ran 2 of 9 samples · 7 unverified
  The lack of diverse and accurate pose and shape training data becomes a major bottleneck, especially for scenes with occlusions in the wild.
• Body Meshes as Points
  6 May 2021 1 repository listed Syntology ran 1 of 7 samples · 6 unverified
  In this work, we present a single-stage model, Body Meshes as Points (BMP), to simplify the pipeline and lift both efficiency and performance.
• AGORA: Avatars in Geography Optimized for Regression Analysis
  29 Apr 2021 1 repository listed
  Additionally, we fine-tune methods on AGORA and show improved performance on both AGORA and 3DPW, confirming the realism of the dataset.
• Synthetic Training for Accurate 3D Human Pose and Shape Estimation in the Wild
  21 Sep 2020 1 repository listed Syntology ran 2 of 9 samples · 7 unverified
  Thus, we propose STRAPS (Synthetic Training for Real Accurate Pose and Shape), a system that utilises proxy representations, such as silhouettes and 2D joints, as inputs to a shape and pose regression neural network,…
• Monocular Real-Time Volumetric Performance Capture
  28 Jul 2020 1 repository listed
  We present the first approach to volumetric performance capture and novel-view rendering at real-time speed from monocular video, eliminating the need for expensive multi-view systems or cumbersome pre-acquisition of a…
• Bodies at Rest: 3D Human Pose and Shape Estimation from a Pressure Image using Synthetic Data
  2 Apr 2020 1 repository listed
  We describe a physics-based method that simulates human bodies at rest in a bed with a pressure sensing mat, and present PressurePose, a synthetic dataset with 206K pressure images with 3D human poses and shapes.
• Learning to Reconstruct 3D Human Pose and Shape via Model-fitting in the Loop
  27 Sep 2019 1 repository listed
  Our approach is self-improving by nature, since better network estimates can lead the optimization to better solutions, while more accurate optimization fits provide better supervision for the network.

Syntology lines on 5 of the papers shown; no Syntology record for the others (a paper without an arXiv id cannot be joined to the graph, and absence from the graph layer is not a recorded non-run). “Ran” means the sample executed on a synthesized fixture, not that the paper's result was reproduced.
