Understanding, reconstructing, and generating humans in 3D is a central challenge in computer vision, graphics, and robotics. This includes analyzing human pose and motion, modeling detailed appearance and clothing, synthesizing realistic behaviors, and capturing complex human-human interactions.
With the rise of large-scale data, generative models, and multimodal learning, the field now spans a wide range of topics—from pose estimation and clothed body reconstruction to neural rendering, motion synthesis, and LLM-based human understanding. These advances enable applications in AR/VR, digital avatars, human-robot collaboration, and beyond.
This workshop brings together researchers to explore the latest methods, highlight emerging challenges, and shape the future of 3D human understanding and generation.
The workshop will feature:
💡 Invited talks from leading voices in academia and industry
🖼️ Poster session showcasing work from recent top-tier conferences
🎙️ Panel discussion to explore open challenges and spark ideas for future research in 3D humans
Perceiving, Reconstructing, and Generating Humans
