Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for generating a body mesh from a single image. The system predicts both a volumetric reconstruction tensor of the monocular image and a pose of an object by applying a first machine learning model to a monocular image. The system identifies a portion of the pose of the object that corresponds to a point in a canonical space associated with a set of position encoding information. The system obtains a point of the volumetric reconstruction tensor corresponding to the identified portion of the pose. The system classifies the obtained point as being inside or outside of a canonical volume by applying a second machine learning model to the obtained point of the volumetric reconstruction tensor together with the set of position encoding information. The system generates a three-dimensional (3D) mesh representing the object in the canonical space.
