This AI Generates 3D high-resolution reconstructions of people from 2D images! It only needs a single image of you to generate a 3D avatar that looks just like you, even from the back!

The coolest thing about this new paper is that they made a demo available on google colab where you can easily try it on yourself, as I will show in this article! But first, let’s see how they did that.

Researchers at Facebook and the University of Southern California recently introduced a new paper called “PIFuHD: Multi-Level Pixel-Aligned Implicit Function for High-Resolution 3D Human Digitization”. In short, it uses a 2D image of someone to reconstruct a 3D high-resolution version of the same person. The main goal was to achieve a high-fidelity 3d reconstruction of clothed humans with detailed information such… Read the full blog for free on Medium.
