Researchers from Tianjin University, Tsinghua University, and Cardiff University introduce the Fourier Occupancy Field (FOF), a new 3D geometry representation for monocular human reconstruction. This representation enables the first real-time pipeline to generate high-fidelity explicit 3D meshes at over 30 frames per second from a single RGB image, achieving superior accuracy compared to prior methods.

Key insights

  • Approximating 1D occupancy functions along rays with a few low-frequency Fourier series terms offers a compact, memory-efficient, and continuously reconstructible 3D representation.
  • Transforming a 3D occupancy field into a 2D multi-channel image (FOF) allows for leveraging powerful 2D CNNs for fast and accurate learning from monocular images.
  • The analytical and parallelizable conversions between FOF and mesh representations are computationally efficient, enabling real-time performance for both training label generation and inference.
