Overview

The dataset containing images with ground-truth shape for bodies, hands and faces together.

Data Collection

We begin with the SMPL+H dataset [52], obtaining one full body RGB image per frame. We then align SMPL-X to the 4D scans following [68]. An expert annotator manually curated the dataset to select 100 frames that can be confidently considered pseudo ground-truth, according to alignment quality and interesting hand poses and facial expressions. The pseudo ground-truth meshes allow to use a stricter vertexto-vertex (v2v) error metric [48, 62], in contrast to the common paradigm of reporting 3D joint error, which does not capture surface errors and rotations along the bones.'
