Human Shape Estimation from a Single Image by Hierarchical Mesh Deformation

We propose a novel learning based framework that combines the robustness of parametric model with the flexibility of free-form 3D deformation. We use the deep neural networks to refine the 3D shape in a Hierarchical Mesh Deformation (HMD) framework, utilizing the constraints from body joints, silhouettes, and shading information.
