• Abstract: Learning a good 3D human pose representation is important for human pose related tasks, e.g. human 3D pose estimation and action recognition. Within all these problems, preserving the intrinsic pose information and adapting to view variations are two critical issues. In this work, we propose a novel Siamese denoising autoencoder to learn a 3D pose representation by disentangling the pose-dependent and view-dependent feature from the human skeleton data, in a fully unsupervised manner. These two disentangled features are utilized together as the representation of the 3D pose. To consider both the kinematic and geometric dependencies, a sequential bidirectional recursive network (SeBiReNet) is further proposed to model the human skeleton data. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the learned representation 1) preserves the intrinsic information of human pose, 2) shows good transferability across datasets and tasks. Notably, our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on two inherently different tasks: pose denoising and unsupervised action recognition.

  Several methods have proposed to learn image representations in a self-supervised fashion so as to disentangle the appearance information from the pose one. We study disentanglement from the perspective of the self-supervised network, via diverse image synthesis experiments. We design an adversarial strategy focusing on generating natural appearance changes of the subject, and against which we could expect a disentangled network to be robust.

While we present results for modeling humans, our formulation is general and can be applied to other vision problems.
