Table of Contents
Who needs ICON?
- If you want to reconstruct 3D clothed humans in unconstrained poses from in-the-wild images
- together with the body under clothing (e.g. SMPL, SMPL-X)
- clothed-body normal maps (front/back) predicted from images
ICON's outputs from single RGB image |
- If you want to obtain a realistic and animatable 3D clothed avatar direclty from video / a sequence of monocular images
- fully-textured with per-vertex color
- could be animated by SMPL pose parameters
- with pose-dependent clothing deformation
3D Clothed Avatar, created from 400+ images using ICON+SCANimate, animated by AIST++ |

Here are some great resources we benefit from:
- MonoPortDataset for Data Processing
- PaMIR, PIFu, PIFuHD, and MonoPort for Benchmark
- SCANimate and AIST++ for Animation
- rembg for Human Segmentation
- torch-mesh-isect for BVH Computation
- smplx, PARE, PyMAF, and PIXIE for Human Pose & Shape Estimation
- CAPE and THuman for Dataset
- PyTorch3D for Differential Rendering
