This repo is part of our project: On Self-Contact and Human Pose.

It includes the main function to segment the SMPL and SMPL-X meshes into inside / outside / in-contact vertices. It includes contact losses that are used with SMPLify-XMC and TUCH.

• [18 August 2021] Version 0.2.0: Self-contact optimization added. See 5) for more details.
• [21 June 2021] Version 0.1.0: Self-intersections and self-contact detection (commit b82d6ffaebca3871db8c60b9c2be6f45f84fe807)

git clone [email protected]:muelea/selfcontact.git
cd selfcontact

python3 -m venv $YOUR_VENV_DIR/selfcontact
source $YOUR_VENV_DIR/selfcontact/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

To use the repo as python module, use pip install . instead and move on with step 3).

Download the essentials from here. These files are required and include for example the precomputed geodesic distances for the neutral SMPL-X and SMPL body modles. Unpack the essentions to ESSENTIALS_FOLDER

# vertices in contact
python selfcontact/tutorial/find_vertices_in_contact.py --essentials_folder ESSENTIALS_FOLDER --output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER
# intersecting vertices
python selfcontact/tutorial/find_self_intersecting_vertices.py --essentials_folder ESSENTIALS_FOLDER --output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER

Mesh with result inside / outside segmentation WITHOUT segment tests. Note, how natural intersections, e.g. in the belly or crook regions are detected.

Mesh with result inside / outside segmentation WITH segment tests. With segment testing, these self-intersections are ignored.

Run the self-contact optimization:

python selfcontact/tutorial/run_selfcontact_optimization.py --essentials_folder ESSENTIALS_FOLDER --model_folder MODEL_FOLDER --output_folder OUTPUT_FOLDER

If you want to enable segment testing set the test_segments parameter to True in the config file (selfcontact/tutorial/configs/selfcontact_optimization_config_orig.yaml). Please not, that we did not use segment tests in the original paper. With segment testing the optimization is more stable, but the hyperparameters are not tuned.
