Sketch-based method for 3D human modeling using template deformation

Objective Human modeling has long been researched extensively and has many potential applications, such as in 3D games, animation, and education. Therefore, simple and efficient methods of generating 3D models of human bodies, especially geometric models, has been a significant research theme in the computer graphics field. Researchers have recently recognized the intuitiveness and importance of sketching as a tool for 3D modeling and design. In this paper, we present a novel sketch-based method for 3D human modeling through template deformation. Method We develop a sketch-based method for human body modeling that enables users to generate various models by sketching human contours. First, we propose a method of localizing human body joints to recognize human joint locations from sketches by users. Second, we use a skeleton recognition method to infer the human skeleton structure on the basis of the constraints on the human body. Then, the physiques and shape parameters of the body are interpreted according to the inputted human sketch. Finally, we apply a template deformation method to construct 3D human bodies. This method can incorporate the human body parameters extracted from the sketch into a plausible 3D human model. Specifically, this model is a parameter-driven 3D human body model that consists of the skeleton and surface models.Result Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed method for 3D human body modeling can automatically infer the intended pose and shape of the body from the sketch. This method can also transfer this information to the parameterized template of the human body. As such, the constructed 3D human model can be used effectively in human animation design.Conclusion In this paper, we propose a sketch-based method for 3D human modeling through template deformation. This method can assist animators in 3D human modelling through sketching and is fast, easy, and low-cost. Moreover, this technique may benefit various users. Thus, this method can be used to generate and easily animate a 3D human model.
