Title
3D Human Mesh Reconstruction by Learning to Sample Joint Adaptive Tokens for Transformers
Abstract
ABSTRACTReconstructing 3D human mesh from a single RGB image is a challenging task due to the inherent depth ambiguity. Researchers commonly use convolutional neural networks to extract features and then apply spatial aggregation on the feature maps to explore the embedded 3D cues in the 2D image. Recently, two methods of spatial aggregation, the transformers and the spatial attention, are adopted to achieve the state-of-the-art performance, whereas they both have limitations. The use of transformers helps modelling long-term dependency across different joints whereas the grid tokens are not adaptive for the positions and shapes of human joints in different images. On the contrary, the spatial attention focuses on joint-specific features. However, the non-local information of the body is ignored by the concentrated attention maps. To address these issues, we propose a Learnable Sampling module to generate joint adaptive tokens and then use transformers to aggregate global information. Feature vectors are sampled accordingly from the feature maps to form the tokens of different joints. The sampling weights are predicted by a learnable network so that the model can learn to sample joint-related features adaptively. Our adaptive tokens are explicitly correlated with human joints, so that more effective modeling of global dependency among different human joints can be achieved. To validate the effectiveness of our method, we conduct experiments on several popular datasets including Human3.6M and 3DPW. Our method achieves lower reconstruction errors in terms of both the vertex-based metric and the joint-based metric compared to previous state of the arts. The codes and the trained models are released at https://github.com/thuxyz19/Learnable-Sampling.
