| contents | 3D human mesh recovery from monocular RGB images aims to estimate anatomically plausible 3D human models for downstream applications, but remains challenging under partial or severe occlusions. Regression-based methods are efficient yet often produce implausible or inaccurate results in unconstrained scenarios, while diffusion-based methods provide strong generative priors for occluded regions but may weaken fidelity to rare poses due to over-reliance on generation. To address these limitations, we propose a brain-inspired synergistic framework that integrates the discriminative power of vision transformers with the generative capability of conditional diffusion models. Specifically, the ViT-based pathway extracts deterministic visual cues from visible regions, while the diffusion-based pathway synthesizes structurally coherent human body representations. To effectively bridge the two pathways, we design a diverse-consistent feature learning module to align discriminative features with generative priors, and a cross-attention multi-level fusion mechanism to enable bidirectional interaction across semantic levels. Experiments on standard benchmarks demonstrate that our method achieves superior performance on key metrics and shows strong robustness in complex real-world scenarios. |
