Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method for reconstructing representations of bodies from images, the method comprising:
inputting, by one or more computing devices into a machine-learned reconstruction model, input data descriptive of an image depicting a body;
predicting, by the one or more computing devices and using a machine-learned marker prediction component of the reconstruction model, a set of surface marker locations on the body; and
outputting, by the one or more computing devices and using a machine-learned marker poser component of the reconstruction model, an output representation of the body that corresponds to the set of surface marker locations;
wherein one or more parameters of the reconstruction model were learned at least in part based on a consistency loss corresponding to a distance between (i) a relaxed-constraint representation generated from a prior set of surface marker locations predicted according to the one or more parameters and (ii) a parametric representation generated from the prior set using kinematic constraints associated with the body.
