• Title: SimPose: Effectively Learning DensePose and Surface Normals of People from Simulated Data
• Authors: Tyler Zhu, Per Karlsson, Christoph Bregler
• Abstract summary: We present a technique for learning difficult per-pixel 2.5D and 3D regression representations of articulated people. We obtained strong sim-to-real domain generalization for the 2.5DPose estimation task and the 3D human surface normal estimation task. Our approach is complementary to existing domain-adaptation techniques and can be applied to other dense per-pixel pose estimation problems.

• Abstract: With a proliferation of generic domain-adaptation approaches, we report a simple yet effective technique for learning difficult per-pixel 2.5D and 3D regression representations of articulated people. We obtained strong sim-to-real domain generalization for the 2.5D DensePose estimation task and the 3D human surface normal estimation task. On the multi-person DensePose MSCOCO benchmark, our approach outperforms the state-of-the-art methods which are trained on real images that are densely labelled. This is an important result since obtaining human manifold's intrinsic uv coordinates on real images is time consuming and prone to labeling noise. Additionally, we present our model's 3D surface normal predictions on the MSCOCO dataset that lacks any real 3D surface normal labels. The key to our approach is to mitigate the "Inter-domain Covariate Shift" with a carefully selected training batch from a mixture of domain samples, a deep batch-normalized residual network, and a modified multi-task learning objective. Our approach is complementary to existing domain-adaptation techniques and can be applied to other dense per-pixel pose estimation problems.

  We propose to use the Human-Object Offset between anchors which are densely sampled from the surface of human mesh and object mesh to represent human-object spatial relation. Based on this representation, we propose Stacked Normalizing Flow (StackFLOW) to infer the posterior distribution of human-object spatial relations from the image. During the optimization stage, we finetune the human body pose and object 6D pose by maximizing the likelihood of samples.

  3DUDA is a method capable of adapting to a nuisance-ridden target domain without 3D or depth data. We represent object categories as simple cuboid meshes, and harness a generative model of neural feature activations. We show that our method simulates fine-tuning on a global pseudo-labeled dataset under mild assumptions.

  Category-level pose estimation is a challenging task with many potential applications in computer vision and robotics. We propose to utilize both geometric and semantic features obtained from a pre-trained foundation model. This requires significantly less data to train than prior methods since the semantic features are robust to object texture and appearance.

  3D-aware global correspondences are reliable flows that jointly encode global semantic correlations, local deformations, and geometric priors of 3D human bodies. An adversarial generator takes the garment warped by the 3D-aware flow, and the image of the target person as inputs, to synthesize the photo-realistic try-on result.

  Training vs. test data domain gaps often negatively affect model performance.

AHuP is built around a practical assumption that in real applications, data from target domain could be inaccessible or only limited information can be acquired.

  Epipolar constraints are at the core of feature matching and depth estimation in multi-person 3D human pose estimation methods. Despite the satisfactory performance of this formulation in sparser crowd scenes, its effectiveness is frequently challenged under denser crowd circumstances. In this paper, we depart from the multi-person 3D pose estimation formulation, and instead reformulate it as crowd pose estimation.
