In this paper, we present a novel non-parametric method for precisely reconstructing a three dimensional (3D) virtual mannequin from anthropometric measurements and mask image(s) based on Graph Convolution Network (GCN). The proposed method avoids heavy dependence on a particular parametric body model such as SMPL or SCPAE and can predict mesh vertices directly, which is significantly more comfortable using a GCN than a typical Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). To further improve the accuracy of the reconstruction and make the reconstruction more controllable, we incorporate the anthropometric measurements into the developed GCN. Our non-parametric reconstruction results distinctly outperform the previous graph convolution method, both visually and in terms of anthropometric accuracy. We also demonstrate that the proposed network possesses the capability to reconstruct a plausible 3D mannequin from a single-view mask. The proposed method can be effortless extended to a parametric method by appending a Multilayer Perception (MLP) to regress the parametric space of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) model to achieve 3D reconstruction as well. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that our anthropometric GCN itself is very useful in improving the reconstruction accuracy, and the proposed method is effective and robust for 3D mannequin reconstruction.
