Question about female/neutral model

[EnricoBeltramo]

Really a great work!
I have some issue if I try to use a model different from SMPL male model. If I place female or neutral model, the reconstruction doesn't match with original image. I attach the example of a female pic with different result
here the image:

Here with male model (good):

here with female model:

here with neutral model:

Is it only an issue of visualization of the model shall be trained with different models?

Thanks,

Hi EnricoBeltramo, thanks for your interest in our work!
The provided checkpoint file is trained with the male SMPL model, so the reconstruction results may be less satisfactory when different SMPL models are used for testing.
To cope with this issue, we need to train the network with both male and female models under additional supervision of gender labels.
Simply using the neutral model may not help since we found that many results appear to be feminine in this case.
