• Abstract summary: We present a self-supervised human mesh recovery framework to infer human pose and shape from monocular images. We achieve state-of-the-art results on the standard model-based 3D pose estimation benchmarks. The resulting colored mesh prediction opens up the usage of our framework for a variety of appearance-related tasks beyond the pose and shape estimation.

• Abstract: We present a self-supervised human mesh recovery framework to infer human pose and shape from monocular images in the absence of any paired supervision. Recent advances have shifted the interest towards directly regressing parameters of a parametric human model by supervising them on large-scale datasets with 2D landmark annotations. This limits the generalizability of such approaches to operate on images from unlabeled wild environments. Acknowledging this we propose a novel appearance consensus driven self-supervised objective. To effectively disentangle the foreground (FG) human we rely on image pairs depicting the same person (consistent FG) in varied pose and background (BG) which are obtained from unlabeled wild videos. The proposed FG appearance consistency objective makes use of a novel, differentiable Color-recovery module to obtain vertex colors without the need for any appearance network; via efficient realization of color-picking and reflectional symmetry. We achieve state-of-the-art results on the standard model-based 3D pose estimation benchmarks at comparable supervision levels. Furthermore, the resulting colored mesh prediction opens up the usage of our framework for a variety of appearance-related tasks beyond the pose and shape estimation, thus establishing our superior generalizability.

  3D human pose estimation approaches leverage different forms of strong (2D/3D pose) or weak (multi-view or depth) paired supervision. We cast 3D pose learning as a self-supervised adaptation problem that aims to transfer the task knowledge from a labeled source domain to a completely unpaired target. We evaluate different self-adaptation settings and demonstrate state-of-the-art 3D human pose estimation performance on standard benchmarks.

  Generalizability of human pose estimation models developed using supervision on large-scale in-studio datasets remains questionable. We propose a novel kinematic-structure-preserved unsupervised 3D pose estimation framework, which is not restrained by any paired or unpaired weak supervisions. Our proposed model employs three consecutive differentiable transformations named as forward-kinematics, camera-projection and spatial-map transformation.
