The paper introduces AvaImg, a multi‑stage optimization pipeline that achieves high‑fidelity SMPL(-X)+D registrations with UV texture for arbitrary clothed scans. By enforcing a body‑inside‑clothing constraint through signed winding numbers and employing a three‑level efficiency cascade, AvaImg significantly reduces runtime and storage while recovering fine surface detail via coarse‑to‑fine displacement optimization. The resulting textured registrations are nearly indistinguishable from scans, and encoding the UV maps with a frozen FLUX VAE demonstrates compatibility with 2D generative models, enabling 3D avatar generation using image‑based priors.

KAD-Net introduces a Kinematics-Aware Decoupled Learning Network for 3D hand pose estimation from a single depth image. It employs a Finger Topology Constraint module that uses local kinematic representations of three consecutive finger joints to better model distal joint relationships and handle occlusion. The architecture also decouples 2D joint localization from depth estimation in a hierarchical multitask framework, reducing feature interference and improving accuracy on benchmark datasets such as ICVL, NYU, and MSRA.
