Reconstructing a clothed human from a single-view image has several challenging issues including flexibly representing various body shapes and poses estimating complete 3D geometry and consistent texture and achieving more fine-grained details. To address them we propose a new diffusion-based Fourier occupancy field method to improve the human representing ability and the geometry generating ability. First we estimate the back-view image from the given reference image by incorporating a style consistency constraint. Then we extract multi-scale features of the two images as conditional and design a diffusion model to generate the Fourier occupancy field in the wavelet domain. We refine the initial estimated Fourier occupancy field with image features as conditions to improve the geometric accuracy. Finally the reference and estimated back-view images are mapped onto the human model creating a textured clothed human model. Substantial experiments are conducted and the experimental results show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods in geometry and texture reconstruction performance.
