Photo Wake-Up: 3D Character Animation from a Single Photo

no code implementations CVPR 2019 Chung-Yi Weng, Brian Curless, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman

The key contributions of this paper are: 1) an application of viewing and animating humans in single photos in 3D, 2) a novel 2D warping method to deform a posable template body model to fit the person's complex silhouette to create an animatable mesh, and 3) a method for handling partial self occlusions.

Reconstructing NBA Players

2 code implementations ECCV 2020 Luyang Zhu, Konstantinos Rematas, Brian Curless, Steve Seitz, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman

Based on these models, we introduce a new method that takes as input a single photo of a clothed player in any basketball pose and outputs a high resolution mesh and 3D pose for that player.

Animating Pictures with Eulerian Motion Fields

no code implementations CVPR 2021 Aleksander Holynski, Brian Curless, Steven M. Seitz, Richard Szeliski

In this paper, we demonstrate a fully automatic method for converting a still image into a realistic animated looping video.

Real-Time High-Resolution Background Matting

2 code implementations CVPR 2021 Shanchuan Lin, Andrey Ryabtsev, Soumyadip Sengupta, Brian Curless, Steve Seitz, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman

We introduce a real-time, high-resolution background replacement technique which operates at 30fps in 4K resolution, and 60fps for HD on a modern GPU.

A Light Stage on Every Desk

no code implementations ICCV 2021 Soumyadip Sengupta, Brian Curless, Ira Kemelmacher-Shlizerman, Steve Seitz

Whereas existing light stages require expensive, room-scale spherical capture gantries and exist in only a few labs in the world, we demonstrate how to acquire useful data from a normal TV or desktop monitor.

Fabrication-Aware Reverse Engineering for Carpentry

1 code implementation21 Jul 2021 James Noeckel, Haisen Zhao, Brian Curless, Adriana Schulz

We propose a novel method to generate fabrication blueprints from images of carpentered items.
