Statistical models of 3D human shape and pose learned from scan databases have developed into valuable tools to solve a variety of vision and graphics problems. Unfortunately, most publicly available models are of limited expressiveness as they were learned on very small databases that hardly reflect the true variety in human body shapes. In this paper, we contribute by rebuilding a widely used statistical body representation from the largest commercially available scan database, and making the resulting model available to the community (visit http://humanshape.mpi-inf.mpg.de). As preprocessing several thousand scans for learning the model is a challenge in itself, we contribute by developing robust best practice solutions for scan alignment that quantitatively lead to the best learned models. We make implementations of these preprocessing steps also publicly available. We extensively evaluate the improved accuracy and generality of our new model, and show its improved performance for human body reconstruction from sparse input data.

本文中，我们从最大可获得的商业扫描数据库中重建了一个广泛使用的统计人体表示，并使得产生的模型对社区可用。我们为了学习模型而预处理了几千次扫描，因此开发了强大的最佳实践解决方案，以排列扫描。我们在广泛的评估中展示出新模型的改进准确性和普遍性，并显示了它对于从稀疏输入数据中恢复人体的改进性能。
