Get3DHuman: Lifting StyleGAN-Human into a 3D Generative Model using Pixel-aligned Reconstruction Priors
Authors:Zhangyang Xiong, Di Kang, Derong Jin, Weikai Chen, Linchao Bao, Xiaoguang Han
Fast generation of high-quality 3D digital humans is important to a vast number of applications ranging from entertainment to professional concerns. Recent advances in differentiable rendering have enabled the training of 3D generative models without requiring 3D ground truths. However, the quality of the generated 3D humans still has much room to improve in terms of both fidelity and diversity. In this paper, we present Get3DHuman, a novel 3D human framework that can significantly boost the realism and diversity of the generated outcomes by only using a limited budget of 3D ground-truth data. Our key observation is that the 3D generator can profit from human-related priors learned through 2D human generators and 3D reconstructors. Specifically, we bridge the latent space of Get3DHuman with that of StyleGAN-Human via a specially-designed prior network, where the input latent code is mapped to the shape and texture feature volumes spanned by the pixel-aligned 3D reconstructor. The outcomes of the prior network are then leveraged as the supervisory signals for the main generator network. To ensure effective training, we further propose three tailored losses applied to the generated feature volumes and the intermediate feature maps. Extensive experiments demonstrate that Get3DHuman greatly outperforms the other state-of-the-art approaches and can support a wide range of applications including shape interpolation, shape re-texturing, and single-view reconstruction through latent inversion.

UW-CVGAN: UnderWater Image Enhancement with Capsules Vectors Quantization
Authors:Rita Pucci, Christian Micheloni, Niki Martinel
The degradation in the underwater images is due to wavelength-dependent light attenuation, scattering, and to the diversity of the water types in which they are captured. Deep neural networks take a step in this field, providing autonomous models able to achieve the enhancement of underwater images. We introduce Underwater Capsules Vectors GAN UWCVGAN based on the discrete features quantization paradigm from VQGAN for this task. The proposed UWCVGAN combines an encoding network, which compresses the image into its latent representation, with a decoding network, able to reconstruct the enhancement of the image from the only latent representation. In contrast with VQGAN, UWCVGAN achieves feature quantization by exploiting the clusterization ability of capsule layer, making the model completely trainable and easier to manage. The model obtains enhanced underwater images with high quality and fine details. Moreover, the trained encoder is independent of the decoder giving the possibility to be embedded onto the collector as compressing algorithm to reduce the memory space required for the images, of factor $3\times$. \myUWCVGAN{ }is validated with quantitative and qualitative analysis on benchmark datasets, and we present metrics results compared with the state of the art.
