SMPLify-XMC is a SMPLify-X optimization framework with Mimicked Contact. It fits a SMPL-X body to a image given (1) 2D keypoints, (2) a known 3D body pose and self-contact, (3) gender, height and weight as input. SMPLify-XMC is used in MTP (Mimic-The-Pose) data collection pipeline to create near ground-truth SMPL-X parameters and self-contact for each in-the-wild image.
