NeuMan is a reference implementation that reconstructs both an animatable human and its background scene from a single monocular video using neural radiance fields. It supports novel view and novel pose synthesis, enabling compositional results like transferring reconstructed humans into new scenes. The pipeline separates human/body and environment, learning consistent geometry and appearance to support animation. Demos showcase sequences such as dance and handshake, and the code provides guidance for running evaluations and rendering. As a research release, it serves both as a baseline and as a starting point for work on human-centric NeRFs. The emphasis is on practical reconstruction quality from minimal capture setups. Compositional outputs to blend humans and backgrounds. Novel view and novel pose synthesis from learned radiance fields.
