    HandVoxNet++: 3D Hand Shape and Pose Estimation using Voxel-Based Neural Networks
    J. Malik S. Shimada, A. Elhayek, S. Ali, C. Theobalt, V. Golyanik and D. Stricker,
    Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI), 2021.

    We develop HandVoxNet++, i.e., a voxel-based deep network with 3D and graph convolutions trained in a fully supervised manner. Our method is ranked first on the HANDS19 challenge dataset (Task 1: Depth-Based 3D Hand Pose Estimation) at the moment of the submission of our results to the portal in August 2020.

    R. Dabral, S. Shimada, A. Jain, C. Theobalt and V. Golyanik,
    In International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV), 2021.

    This paper proposes GraviCap, i.e., a new approach for joint markerless 3D human motion capture and object trajectory estimation from monocular RGB videos.

    Neural Monocular 3D Human Motion Capture with Physical Awareness
    S. Shimada, V. Golyanik, W. Xu, P. Pérez and C. Theobalt.

    PhysCap: Physically Plausible Monocular 3D Motion Capture in Real Time
    S. Shimada, V. Golyanik, W. Xu and C. Theobalt.

    We present PhysCap, the first algorithm for physically plausible, real-time and marker-less human 3D motion capture with a single colour camera at 25 fps.

    Fast Simultaneous Gravitational Alignment of Multiple Point Sets
    V. Golyanik, S. Shimada and C. Theobalt.
    In International Conference on 3D Vision (3DV), 2020 (Oral)

    This paper proposes a new resilient technique for simultaneous registration of multiple point sets by interpreting the latter as particle swarms rigidly moving in the mutually induced force fields.

    HandVoxNet: Deep Voxel-Based Network for 3D Hand Shape and Pose Estimation from a Single Depth Map
    J. Malik, I. Abdelaziz, A. Elhayek, S. Shimada, S. A. Ali, V. Golyanik, C. Theobalt and D. Stricker.
    Accepted in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2020.

    we propose a novel architecture with 3D convolutions trained in a weakly-supervised manner. We combine the advantages of voxel and surface representations by registering the hand surface to the voxelized hand shape.

    DispVoxNets: Non-Rigid Point Set Alignment with Supervised Learning Proxies.
    S. Shimada, V. Golyanik, E. Tretschk, D. Stricker and C. Theobalt.
    In International Conference on 3D Vision (3DV), 2019; Oral

    We introduce a supervised-learning framework for nonrigid point set alignment of a new kind — Displacements on Voxels Networks (DispVoxNets) — which abstracts away from the point set representation and regresses 3D displacement fields on regularly sampled proxy 3D voxel grids.

    IsMo-GAN: Adversarial Learning for Monocular Non-Rigid 3D Reconstruction.
    S. Shimada, V. Golyanik, C. Theobalt and D. Stricker.
    In Proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops (CVPRW), 2019; Oral

    We present the Isometry-Aware Monocular Generative Adversarial Network (IsMo-GAN) — an approach for direct 3D reconstruction from a single image, trained for the deformation model in an adversarial manner on a light-weight synthetic dataset.
    [paper] [code] [arXiv]

    HDM-Net: Monocular Non-Rigid 3D Reconstruction with Learned Deformation Model.
    V. Golyanik, S. Shimada, K. Varanasi and D. Stricker.
    In International Conference on Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (EuroVR) 2018; Oral (Long Paper)

    We propose a new hybrid approach for monocular non-rigid reconstruction which we call Hybrid Deformation Model Network (HDM-Net). In our approach, a deformation model is learned by a deep neural network, with a combination of domainspecific loss functions.
