Researchers have introduced Anny, a new, open-source parametric human body model designed for scan-free 3D modeling. Anny utilizes anthropometric knowledge from the MakeHuman community to create a continuous and interpretable shape space, controlled by phenotype parameters like age, gender, and height. This model aims to provide realistic and demographically diverse human shape variations, supporting applications such as scan fitting, synthetic data generation, and Human Mesh Recovery (HMR). A dataset of 780,000 photorealistic images generated with Anny demonstrates that HMR models trained on this data can achieve performance comparable to those trained on scan-based models. AI
IMPACT Provides a new, open-source tool for generating diverse human body models, potentially improving synthetic data generation for AI training.
