• Abstract summary: This paper aims to estimate 3D mesh of multiple body parts with large-scale differences from a single RGB image. The main challenge is lacking training data that have complete 3D annotations of all body parts in 2D images. We propose a depth-to-scale (D2S) projection to incorporate the depth difference into the projection function to derive per-joint scale variants.

• Abstract: Recovering 3D human mesh from monocular images is a popular topic in computer vision and has a wide range of applications. This paper aims to estimate 3D mesh of multiple body parts (e.g., body, hands) with large-scale differences from a single RGB image. Existing methods are mostly based on iterative optimization, which is very time-consuming. We propose to train a single-shot model to achieve this goal. The main challenge is lacking training data that have complete 3D annotations of all body parts in 2D images. To solve this problem, we design a multi-branch framework to disentangle the regression of different body properties, enabling us to separate each component's training in a synthetic training manner using unpaired data available. Besides, to strengthen the generalization ability, most existing methods have used in-the-wild 2D pose datasets to supervise the estimated 3D pose via 3D-to-2D projection. However, we observe that the commonly used weak-perspective model performs poorly in dealing with the external foreshortening effect of camera projection. Therefore, we propose a depth-to-scale (D2S) projection to incorporate the depth difference into the projection function to derive per-joint scale variants for more proper supervision. The proposed method outperforms previous methods on the CMU Panoptic Studio dataset according to the evaluation results and achieves comparable results on the Human3.6M body and STB hand benchmarks. More impressively, the performance in close shot images gets significantly improved using the proposed D2S projection for weak supervision, while maintains obvious superiority in computational efficiency.

  We propose a novel loss function, multiview consistency, to enable adding additional training data with only 2D supervision. Our experiments demonstrate that two views offset by 90 degrees are enough to obtain good performance, with only marginal improvements by adding more views. This research introduces new possibilities for domain adaptation in 3D pose estimation, providing a practical and cost-effective solution to customize models for specific applications.

The neural features are trained with contrastive learning to become 3D-aware and hence to overcome the 2D-3D ambiguity.

  Existing self-supervised 3D human pose estimation schemes have largely relied on weak supervisions to guide the learning. We propose a novel self-supervised approach that allows us to explicitly generate 2D-3D pose pairs for augmenting supervision. This is made possible via introducing a reinforcement-learning-based imitator, which is learned jointly with a pose estimator alongside a pose hallucinator.
