PoseDreamer: Scalable and Photorealistic Human Data Generation Pipeline with Diffusion Models

PoseDreamer is a new pipeline that uses diffusion models to generate large‑scale synthetic datasets for 3D human mesh estimation, providing 3D mesh annotations that remain aligned with the generated images. The system incorporates controllable image generation, Direct Preference Optimization for control alignment, curriculum‑based hard sample mining, and multi‑stage quality filtering to produce over 500,000 high‑quality samples with a 76% improvement in image‑quality metrics over traditional rendering‑based datasets. Models trained on PoseDreamer match or surpass those trained on real‑world or conventional synthetic data, and combining PoseDreamer with synthetic datasets yields better performance than mixing real and synthetic data alone.

An Evaluation Framework for Generating Multi-View Images of a Person in a Scene

The paper introduces a framework for generating multi‑view images of a person within a natural scene, addressing the scarcity of paired multi‑view datasets for human subjects. It evaluates existing diffusion‑based image‑editing models and finds they often hallucinate head‑turn angles, leading to inconsistent backgrounds. To overcome this, the authors propose the Head Scene Rotation Difference (HSRD) metric, which separates camera movement from head pose changes and enables reliable assessment of 3D spatial parallax for constructing high‑quality synthetic datasets.
