• Abstract summary: We propose a self-supervised approach that learns a single image 3D pose estimator from unlabeled multi-view data. In contrast to most existing methods, we do not require calibrated cameras and can therefore learn from moving cameras. Key to the success are new, unbiased reconstruction objectives that mix information across views and training samples.

• Abstract: Human pose estimation from single images is a challenging problem in computer vision that requires large amounts of labeled training data to be solved accurately. Unfortunately, for many human activities (\eg outdoor sports) such training data does not exist and is hard or even impossible to acquire with traditional motion capture systems. We propose a self-supervised approach that learns a single image 3D pose estimator from unlabeled multi-view data. To this end, we exploit multi-view consistency constraints to disentangle the observed 2D pose into the underlying 3D pose and camera rotation. In contrast to most existing methods, we do not require calibrated cameras and can therefore learn from moving cameras. Nevertheless, in the case of a static camera setup, we present an optional extension to include constant relative camera rotations over multiple views into our framework. Key to the success are new, unbiased reconstruction objectives that mix information across views and training samples. The proposed approach is evaluated on two benchmark datasets (Human3.6M and MPII-INF-3DHP) and on the in-the-wild SkiPose dataset.

  Multi-view 3D human pose estimation is naturally superior to single view one. The accurate annotation of these information is hard to obtain. We propose a fully self-supervised framework, named cascaded multi-view aggregating network (CMANet) CMANet is superior to state-of-the-art methods in extensive quantitative and qualitative analysis.

  Cross-view person matching and 3D human pose estimation in multi-camera networks are difficult when the cameras are extrinsically uncalibrated. Existing efforts require large amounts of 3D data for training neural networks or known camera poses for geometric constraints to solve the problem. We present a method, PME, that solves the two tasks without requiring either information.

  We consider the problem of estimating the 3D position of multiple humans in a scene as well as their body shape and articulation from a single RGB video recorded with a static camera. We leverage recent advances in computer vision using large-scale pre-trained models for a variety of modalities, including 2D body joints, joint angles, normalized disparity maps, and human segmentation masks. In particular, we estimate the scene depth and unique person scale from normalized disparity predictions using the 2D body joints and joint angles.

  We introduce VirtualPose, a two-stage learning framework to exploit the hidden "free lunch" specific to this task. The first stage transforms images to abstract geometry representations (AGR), and then the second maps them to 3D poses. It addresses the generalization issue from two aspects: (1) the first stage can be trained on diverse 2D datasets to reduce the risk of over-fitting to limited appearance; (2) the second stage can be trained on diverse AGR synthesized from a large number of virtual cameras and poses.

  We propose an unsupervised approach that learns to predict a 3D human pose from a single image. We estimate the 3D pose that is most likely over random projections, with the likelihood estimated using normalizing flows on 2D poses. We outperform the state-of-the-art unsupervised human pose estimation methods on the benchmark datasets Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP in many metrics.
