Parameterized model of 2d articulated human shape

A non-transitory computer-readable storage device having stored therein instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• generating a three-dimensional model of an unclothed human body;
• determining two-dimensional contours associated with the three-dimensional model to yield a two-dimensional model;
• computing deformations by aligning a contour of a clothed human body with a contour of the unclothed human body;
• and
• based on the two-dimensional contours from the two-dimensional model and the deformations, generating a two-dimensional model of the unclothed human body
• and

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
• generating a three-dimensional model of an unclothed human body;
• generating, based on two-dimensional contours associated with the three-dimensional model, a two-dimensional model of the unclothed human body, the two-dimensional model of the unclothed human body factoring deformations of the unclothed human body into one or more of a shape variation component, a viewpoint change, and a pose variation;
• and
• generating a two-dimensional model of a clothed human body based on a learning of an eigen-clothing model using an analysis applied to the deformations, wherein the eigen-clothing model classifies different types of clothing.
