Who needs ICON?

• If you want to Train & Evaluate on PIFu / PaMIR / ICON using your own data, please check dataset.md to prepare dataset, training.md for training, and evaluation.md for benchmark evaluation.

• Given a raw RGB image, you could get:

  • image (png):
    • segmented human RGB
    • normal maps of body and cloth
    • pixel-aligned normal-RGB overlap
  • mesh (obj):
    • SMPL-(X) body from PyMAF, PIXIE, PARE, HybrIK, BEV
    • 3D clothed human reconstruction
    • 3D garments (requires 2D mask)
  • video (mp4):
    • self-rotated clothed human

Instructions

• See docs/installation.md to install all the required packages and setup the models
• See docs/dataset.md to synthesize the train/val/test dataset from THuman2.0
• See docs/training.md to train your own model using THuman2.0
• See docs/evaluation.md to benchmark trained models on CAPE testset
• Add-on: Garment Extraction from Fashion Images, supported by ETH Zürich students as 3DV course project.

Running Demo
