Zhuo Su 苏 卓

 


I am a senior researcher/engineer at Bytedance. Previously, I served as a senior researcher at Tencent (Recruitment Talents Program: "技术大咖 "). Before that, I earned my Master's degree from Department of Automation, Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Qionghai Dai and Prof. Lu Fang, and meanwhile, I worked closely with Prof. Yebin Liu and Lan Xu.

My work mission is to capture and understand dynamic human-centric scenes in the real world, and digitalize humans, objects, and events for immersive application in virtual and augmented reality. My research primarily centers around computer vision and graphics, especially human 3D generation, avatar creation, 4D reconstruction, neural rendering, motion capture, and related areas.

I am looking for full-time partners and research interns, please feel free to drop me an email if you are interested in the topics above.

    1. 3D Generation

     

          Joint2Human: High-quality 3D Human Generation via Compact Spherical Embedding of 3D Joints
    Muxin Zhang, Qiao Feng, Zhuo Su, Chao Wen, Zhou Xue, Kun Li
    IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2024.

    We introduce Joint2Human, a novel method that leverages 2D diffusion models to generate detailed 3D human geometry directly, ensuring both global structure and local details.

          HumanSplat: Generalizable Single-Image Human Gaussian Splatting with Structure Priors
    Panwang Pan*, Zhuo Su* (Project Lead), Chenguo Lin*, Zhen Fan, Yongjie Zhang, Zeming Li, Tingting Shen, Yadong Mu, Yebin Liu (*Equal Contribution)
    arXiv, 2024.

    We propose HumanSplat, a method that predicts the 3D Gaussian Splatting properties of a human from a single input image in a generalizable way. It utilizes a 2D multi-view diffusion model and a latent reconstruction transformer with human structure priors to effectively integrate geometric priors and semantic features.

    2. Avatar Creation

     

          OHTA: One-shot Hand Avatar via Data-driven Implicit Priors
    Xiaozheng Zheng, Chao Wen, Zhuo Su, Zeran Xu, Zhaohu Li, Yang Zhao, Zhou Xue
    IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), 2024.

    OHTA is a novel approach capable of creating implicit animatable hand avatars using just a single image. It facilitates 1) text-to-avatar conversion, 2) hand texture and geometry editing, and 3) interpolation and sampling within the latent space.

    arXiv, 2024.

    We propose a 3D head avatar creation method that generalizes from few-shot in-the-wild data. By using 3D head priors from a large-scale dataset and a Gaussian Splatting-based network, our approach achieves high-fidelity rendering and robust animation.

Specifically, VMP is implemented as a transformer-based variational autoencoder pretrained over large-scale 3D motion data, providing an expressive latent space for human motion at sequence level.
