This paper introduces a novel Underclothing Body Shape Perception Network (UBSP-Net) for reconstructing parametric 3D human models from clothed full-body 3D scans, addressing the challenge of estimating body shape and pose beneath clothing. Our approach simultaneously predicts both the internal body point cloud and a reference point cloud for the SMPL model, with point-to-point correspondence, leveraging the external scan as an initial approximation to enhance the model’s stability and computational efficiency. By learning point offsets and incorporating body part label probabilities, the network achieves accurate internal body shape inference, enabling reliable Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) human body model registration. Furthermore, we optimize the SMPL+D human model parameters to reconstruct the clothed human model, accommodating common clothing types, such as T-shirts, shirts, and pants. Evaluated on the CAPE dataset, our method outperforms mainstream approaches, achieving significantly lower Chamfer distance errors and faster inference times. The proposed automated pipeline ensures accurate and efficient reconstruction, even with sparse or incomplete scans, and demonstrates robustness on real-world Thuman2.0 dataset scans. This work advances parametric human modeling by providing a scalable and privacy-preserving solution for applications to 3D shape analysis, virtual try-ons, and animation.
