It also improves on a notable earlier parametric method for body reshaping by removing the need for extensive human intervention during the formulation of the transformation.
The work offers several improvements over a recent similar project from Alibaba, in that it can convincingly alter height and body proportion as well as weight, and has a dedicated neural network for ‘inpainting' the (non-existent) background that can be revealed by ‘slimmer' body images. Parametrized modulation of body shape, with sliders altering the three available features.
