This paper presents a novel method to recover detailed avatar from a single image. A learning-based framework is proposed to combine the robustness of the parametric model with the flexibility of free-form 3D deformation. The neural networks are used to refine the 3D shape in a Hierarchical Mesh Deformation (HMD) framework, and restore detailed human body shapes with complete textures beyond skinned models.
