Researchers from Seoul National University introduce TeHOR, a framework for text-guided 3D human and object reconstruction from a single image, which leverages semantic text descriptions and appearance cues to overcome reliance on physical contact. This method achieves state-of-the-art accuracy, particularly in non-contact scenarios, and is the first to jointly reconstruct full 3D textures for both humans and interacting objects.

Key insights

  • Semantic guidance from text descriptions is crucial for understanding and reconstructing a wider spectrum of human-object interactions, especially non-contact scenarios.
  • Integrating appearance-level supervision through diffusion models provides dense, pixel-level gradients that are more effective than global CLIP embeddings for achieving visually plausible and contextually coherent 3D reconstructions.
  • Representing 3D humans and objects as Gaussians, combined with a 2D background, allows for superior modeling of high-fidelity visual appearances and more effective spatial optimization compared to mesh-based methods.
