Reconstructing Humans and Their World in 3D from Just a Few Snapshots
This paper introduces HAMSt3R, a new method for 3D human and scene reconstruction from multiple images. It combines scene reconstruction and human mesh recovery models to create detailed 3D models, outperforming some previous methods, but still faces some limitations in handling large-scale scenes and reliance on synthetic training data.
Possible Conflicts of Interest
None identified.
Identified Weaknesses
Limitations in long-range accuracy
The model struggles with SMPL fitting when people are far away in the scene, which is a common occurrence in outdoor or large indoor environments. This reduces accuracy in such real-world scenarios.
Over-reliance on synthetic data
The dataset is heavily reliant on synthetic data, which raises questions about how well the model generalizes to real-world complexity in lighting, textures, and human behavior.
SMPL fitting for evaluation is not feed-forward
While claimed to be feed-forward, SMPL fitting is needed for full evaluation, introducing a post-processing step that adds complexity. This also requires high quality data and may not scale.
Rating Explanation
This paper presents a novel and efficient feed-forward method for joint human and scene 3D reconstruction. The approach demonstrates strong performance on several benchmarks and offers a more practical solution compared to existing optimization-based methods. However, limitations regarding large scene scales, reliance on synthetic data, and SMPL fitting as post-processing necessitate further improvements before widespread practical application.
