Distribution and Depth-Aware Transformers for 3D Human Mesh Recovery
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Precise Human Mesh Recovery (HMR) with in-the-wild data is a formidable challenge and is often hindered by depth ambiguities and reduced precision. Existing works resort to either pose priors or multi-modal data such as multi-view or point cloud information, though their methods often overlook the valuable scene-depth information inherently present in a single image. Moreover, achieving robust HMR for out-of-distribution (OOD) data is exceedingly challenging due to inherent variations in pose, shape and depth. Consequently, understanding the underlying distribution becomes a vital subproblem in modeling human forms. Motivated by the need for unambiguous and robust human modeling, we introduce Distribution and depth-aware human mesh recovery (D2AHMR), an end-to-end transformer architecture meticulously designed to minimize the disparity between distributions and incorporate scene-depth leveraging prior depth information. Our approach demonstrates superior performance in handling OOD data in certain scenarios while consistently achieving competitive results against state-of-the-art HMR methods on controlled datasets.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
