Following the success of deep convolutional networks, state-of-the-art methods for 3d human pose estimation have focused on deep end-to-end systems that predict 3d joint locations given raw image pixels. Despite their excellent performance, it is often not easy to understand whether their remaining error stems from a limited 2d pose (visual) understanding, or from a failure to map 2d poses into 3dimensional positions.With the goal of understanding these sources of error, we set out to build a system that given 2d joint locations predicts 3d positions. Much to our surprise, we have found that, with current technology, "lifting" ground truth 2d joint locations to 3d space is a task that can be solved with a remarkably low error rate: a relatively simple deep feedforward network outperforms the best reported result by about 30% on Human3.6M, the largest publicly available 3d pose estimation benchmark. Furthermore, training our system on the output of an off-the-shelf state-of-the-art 2d detector (i.e., using images as input) yields state of the art results -this includes an array of systems that have been trained end-to-end specifically for this task. Our results indicate that a large portion of the error of modern deep 3d pose estimation systems stems from their visual analysis, and suggests directions to further advance the state of the art in 3d human pose estimation.

大多数实时人类姿势估计方法都基于检测接头位置。使用检测到的关节位置，可以计算偏差和肢体的俯仰。然而，由于这种旋转轴仍然不观察，因此不能计算沿着肢体沿着肢体至关重要的曲折，这对于诸如体育分析和计算机动画至关重要。在本文中，我们引入了方向关键点，一种用于估计骨骼关节的全位置和旋转的新方法，仅使用单帧RGB图像。灵感来自Motion-Capture Systems如何使用一组点标记来估计全骨骼旋转，我们的方法使用虚拟标记来生成足够的信息，以便准确地推断使用简单的后处理。旋转预测改善了接头角度最佳报告的平均误差48％，并且在15个骨骼旋转中实现了93％的精度。该方法还通过MPJPE在原理数据集上测量，通过MPJPE测量，该方法还改善了当前的最新结果14％，并概括为野外数据集。

In this work, we demonstrate that 3D poses in video can be effectively estimated with a fully convolutional model based on dilated temporal convolutions over 2D keypoints. We also introduce back-projection, a simple and effective semi-supervised training method that leverages unlabeled video data. We start with predicted 2D keypoints for unlabeled video, then estimate 3D poses and finally back-project to the input 2D keypoints. In the supervised setting, our fully-convolutional model outperforms the previous best result from the literature by 6 mm mean per-joint position error on Human3.6M, corresponding to an error reduction of 11%, and the model also shows significant improvements on HumanEva-I. Moreover, experiments with back-projection show that it comfortably outperforms previous state-of-the-art results in semisupervised settings where labeled data is scarce.

We propose a CNN-based approach for 3D human body pose estimation from single RGB images that addresses the issue of limited generalizability of models trained solely on the starkly limited publicly available 3D pose data. Using only the existing 3D pose data and 2D pose data, we show state-of-the-art performance on established benchmarks through transfer of learned features, while also generalizing to in-the-wild scenes. We further introduce a new training set for human body pose estimation from monocular images of real humans that has the ground truth captured with a multi-camera marker-less motion capture system. It complements existing corpora with greater diversity in pose, human appearance, clothing, occlusion, and viewpoints, and enables an increased scope of augmentation. We also contribute a new benchmark that covers outdoor and indoor scenes, and demonstrate that our 3D pose dataset shows better in-the-wild performance than existing annotated data, which is further improved in conjunction with transfer learning from 2D pose data. All in all, we argue that the use of transfer learning of representations in tandem with algorithmic and data contributions is crucial for general 3D body pose estimation.

尽管来自视频的3D人类姿势估算的巨大进展，但是充分利用冗余2D姿势序列来学习用于生成一个3D姿势的代表表示的开放问题。为此，我们提出了一种改进的基于变压器的架构，称为冲压变压器，简单地有效地将长期的2D联合位置升高到单个3D姿势。具体地，采用Vanilla变压器编码器（VTE）来模拟2D姿势序列的远程依赖性。为了减少序列的冗余，vte的前馈网络中的完全连接的层被冲击卷积替换，以逐步缩小序列长度并从本地上下文聚合信息。修改的VTE称为STRIVEIVERCHER ENCODER（STE），其构建在VTE的输出时。 STE不仅有效地将远程信息聚集到分层全球和本地时尚的单载体表示，而且显着降低了计算成本。此外，全序列和单个目标帧尺度都设计了全序，分别适用于VTE和ST的输出。该方案与单个目标帧监督结合施加额外的时间平滑度约束，因此有助于产生更平滑和更准确的3D姿势。所提出的轮廓变压器在两个具有挑战性的基准数据集，Human3.6M和HumanVa-I中进行评估，并通过更少的参数实现最先进的结果。代码和模型可用于\ url {https://github.com/vegetebird/stridedtransformer-pose3d}。

Figure 1: Given challenging in-the-wild videos, a recent state-of-the-art video-pose-estimation approach [31] (top), fails to produce accurate 3D body poses. To address this, we exploit a large-scale motion-capture dataset to train a motion discriminator using an adversarial approach. Our model (VIBE) (bottom) is able to produce realistic and accurate pose and shape, outperforming previous work on standard benchmarks.

From an image of a person in action, we can easily guess the 3D motion of the person in the immediate past and future. This is because we have a mental model of 3D human dynamics that we have acquired from observing visual sequences of humans in motion. We present a framework that can similarly learn a representation of 3D dynamics of humans from video via a simple but effective temporal encoding of image features. At test time, from video, the learned temporal representation give rise to smooth 3D mesh predictions. From a single image, our model can recover the current 3D mesh as well as its 3D past and future motion. Our approach is designed so it can learn from videos with 2D pose annotations in a semi-supervised manner. Though annotated data is always limited, there are millions of videos uploaded daily on the Internet. In this work, we harvest this Internet-scale source of unlabeled data by training our model on unlabeled video with pseudo-ground truth 2D pose obtained from an off-the-shelf 2D pose detector. Our experiments show that adding more videos with pseudo-ground truth 2D pose monotonically improves 3D prediction performance. We evaluate our model, Human Mesh and Motion Recovery (HMMR), on the recent challenging dataset of 3D Poses in the Wild and obtain state-of-the-art performance on the 3D prediction task without any fine-tuning.

Human motion modelling is a classical problem at the intersection of graphics and computer vision, with applications spanning human-computer interaction, motion synthesis, and motion prediction for virtual and augmented reality. Following the success of deep learning methods in several computer vision tasks, recent work has focused on using deep recurrent neural networks (RNNs) to model human motion, with the goal of learning time-dependent representations that perform tasks such as short-term motion prediction and long-term human motion synthesis. We examine recent work, with a focus on the evaluation methodologies commonly used in the literature, and show that, surprisingly, state-of-the-art performance can be achieved by a simple baseline that does not attempt to model motion at all. We investigate this result, and analyze recent RNN methods by looking at the architectures, loss functions, and training procedures used in state-of-the-art approaches. We propose three changes to the standard RNN models typically used for human motion, which result in a simple and scalable RNN architecture that obtains state-of-the-art performance on human motion prediction.

当标记的数据丰富时，从单个图像中进行3D姿势估计的监督方法非常有效。但是，由于对地面3D标签的获取是劳动密集型且耗时的，最近的关注已转向半决赛和弱监督的学习。产生有效的监督形式，几乎没有注释，仍然在拥挤的场景中构成重大挑战。在本文中，我们建议通过加权区分三角剖分施加多视文几何约束，并在没有标签时将其用作一种自我设计的形式。因此，我们以一种方式训练2D姿势估计器，以使其预测对应于对三角姿势的3D姿势的重新投影，并在其上训练辅助网络以产生最终的3D姿势。我们通过一种加权机制来补充三角剖分，从而减轻了由自我咬合或其他受试者的遮挡引起的嘈杂预测的影响。我们证明了半监督方法对人类36M和MPI-INF-3DHP数据集的有效性，以及在具有闭塞的新的多视频多人数据集上。

培训视频中人类姿势估计的最先进模型需要具有很难获得的注释的数据集。尽管最近已将变压器用于身体姿势序列建模，但相关方法依靠伪地真相来增强目前有限的培训数据可用于学习此类模型。在本文中，我们介绍了Posebert，Posebert是一个通过掩盖建模对3D运动捕获（MOCAP）数据进行全面训练的变压器模块。它是简单，通用和通用的，因为它可以插入任何基于图像的模型的顶部，以在基于视频的模型中使用时间信息。我们展示了Posebert的变体，不同的输入从3D骨骼关键点到全身或仅仅是手（Mano）的3D参数模型的旋转。由于Posebert培训是任务不可知论的，因此该模型可以应用于姿势细化，未来的姿势预测或运动完成等几个任务。我们的实验结果验证了在各种最新姿势估计方法之上添加Posebert始终提高其性能，而其低计算成本使我们能够在实时演示中使用它，以通过A的机器人手使机器人手通过摄像头。可以在https://github.com/naver/posebert上获得测试代码和型号。

3D human pose estimation is a difficult task, due to challenges such as occluded body parts and ambiguous poses. Graph convolutional networks encode the structural information of the human skeleton in the form of an adjacency matrix, which is beneficial for better pose prediction. We propose one such graph convolutional network named PoseGraphNet for 3D human pose regression from 2D poses. Our network uses an adaptive adjacency matrix and kernels specific to neighbor groups. We evaluate our model on the Human3.6M dataset which is a standard dataset for 3D pose estimation. Our model's performance is close to the state-of-the-art, but with much fewer parameters. The model learns interesting adjacency relations between joints that have no physical connections, but are behaviorally similar.

This work addresses the problem of estimating the full body 3D human pose and shape from a single color image. This is a task where iterative optimization-based solutions have typically prevailed, while Convolutional Networks (ConvNets) have suffered because of the lack of training data and their low resolution 3D predictions. Our work aims to bridge this gap and proposes an efficient and effective direct prediction method based on ConvNets. Central part to our approach is the incorporation of a parametric statistical body shape model (SMPL) within our end-to-end framework. This allows us to get very detailed 3D mesh results, while requiring estimation only of a small number of parameters, making it friendly for direct network prediction. Interestingly, we demonstrate that these parameters can be predicted reliably only from 2D keypoints and masks. These are typical outputs of generic 2D human analysis ConvNets, allowing us to relax the massive requirement that images with 3D shape ground truth are available for training. Simultaneously, by maintaining differentiability, at training time we generate the 3D mesh from the estimated parameters and optimize explicitly for the surface using a 3D per-vertex loss. Finally, a differentiable renderer is employed to project the 3D mesh to the image, which enables further refinement of the network, by optimizing for the consistency of the projection with 2D annotations (i.e., 2D keypoints or masks). The proposed approach outperforms previous baselines on this task and offers an attractive solution for direct prediction of 3D shape from a single color image.

We introduce a new dataset, Human3.6M, of 3.6 Million accurate 3D Human poses, acquired by recording the performance of 5 female and 6 male subjects, under 4 different viewpoints, for training realistic human sensing systems and for evaluating the next generation of human pose estimation models and algorithms. Besides increasing the size of the datasets in the current state of the art by several orders of magnitude, we also aim to complement such datasets with a diverse set of motions and poses encountered as part of typical human activities (taking photos, talking on the phone, posing, greeting, eating, etc.), with additional synchronized image, human motion capture and time of flight (depth) data, and with accurate 3D body scans of all the subject actors involved. We also provide controlled mixed reality evaluation scenarios where 3D human models are animated using motion capture and inserted using correct 3D geometry, in complex real environments, viewed with moving cameras, and under occlusion. Finally, we provide a set of large scale statistical models and detailed evaluation baselines for the dataset illustrating its diversity and the scope for improvement by future work in the research community. Our experiments show that our best large scale model can leverage our full training set to obtain a 20% improvement in performance compared to a training set of the scale of the largest existing public dataset for this problem. Yet the potential for improvement by leveraging higher capacity, more complex models with our large dataset, is substantially vaster and should stimulate future research. The dataset together with code for the associated large-scale learning models, features, visualization tools, as well as the evaluation server, is available online at http://vision.imar.ro/human3.6m.

人类性能捕获是一种非常重要的计算机视觉问题，在电影制作和虚拟/增强现实中具有许多应用。许多以前的性能捕获方法需要昂贵的多视图设置，或者没有恢复具有帧到帧对应关系的密集时空相干几何。我们提出了一种新颖的深度致密人体性能捕获的深层学习方法。我们的方法是基于多视图监督的弱监督方式培训，完全删除了使用3D地面真理注释的培训数据的需求。网络架构基于两个单独的网络，将任务解散为姿势估计和非刚性表面变形步骤。广泛的定性和定量评估表明，我们的方法在质量和稳健性方面优于现有技术。这项工作是DeepCAP的扩展版本，在那里我们提供更详细的解释，比较和结果以及应用程序。

尽管最近的进步，但是，尽管最近的进展，但是从单个图像中的人类姿势的全3D估计仍然是一个具有挑战性的任务。在本文中，我们探讨了关于场景几何体的强先前信息的假设可用于提高姿态估计精度。为了主弱地解决这个问题，我们已经组装了一种新的$ \ textbf {几何姿势提供} $ DataSet，包括与各种丰富的3D环境交互的人员的多视图图像。我们利用商业运动捕获系统来收集场景本身的姿势和构造精确的几何3D CAD模型的金标估计。要将对现有框架的现有框架注入图像的现有框架，我们介绍了一种新颖的，基于视图的场景几何形状，一个$ \ textbf {多层深度图} $，它采用了多次射线跟踪到简明地编码沿着每种相机视图光线方向的多个表面入口和退出点。我们提出了两种不同的机制，用于集成多层深度信息姿势估计：输入作为升降2D姿势的编码光线特征，其次是促进学习模型以支持几何一致姿态估计的可差异损失。我们通过实验展示这些技术可以提高3D姿势估计的准确性，特别是在遮挡和复杂场景几何形状的存在中。
