• Abstract summary: We present PandaNet, a new single-shot, anchor-based and multi-person 3D pose estimation approach. The proposed model performs bounding box detection and, for each detected person, 2D and 3D pose regression into a single forward pass. It does not need any post-processing to regroup joints since the network predicts a full 3D pose for each bounding box.

• Abstract: Recently, several deep learning models have been proposed for 3D human pose estimation. Nevertheless, most of these approaches only focus on the single-person case or estimate 3D pose of a few people at high resolution. Furthermore, many applications such as autonomous driving or crowd analysis require pose estimation of a large number of people possibly at low-resolution. In this work, we present PandaNet (Pose estimAtioN and Dectection Anchor-based Network), a new single-shot, anchor-based and multi-person 3D pose estimation approach. The proposed model performs bounding box detection and, for each detected person, 2D and 3D pose regression into a single forward pass. It does not need any post-processing to regroup joints since the network predicts a full 3D pose for each bounding box and allows the pose estimation of a possibly large number of people at low resolution. To manage people overlapping, we introduce a Pose-Aware Anchor Selection strategy. Moreover, as imbalance exists between different people sizes in the image, and joints coordinates have different uncertainties depending on these sizes, we propose a method to automatically optimize weights associated to different people scales and joints for efficient training. PandaNet surpasses previous single-shot methods on several challenging datasets: a multi-person urban virtual but very realistic dataset (JTA Dataset), and two real world 3D multi-person datasets (CMU Panoptic and MuPoTS-3D).

  Multi-person 3D pose estimation is more challenging than single pose estimation. Existing top-down and bottom-up approaches to pose estimation suffer from detection errors. We propose the integration of top-down and bottom-up approaches to exploit their strengths.

  Recovering multi-person 3D poses from a single RGB image is a severely ill-conditioned problem. Recent works have shown promising results by simultaneously reasoning for different people but in all cases within a local neighborhood. PI-Net introduces a self-attention block to reason for all people in the image at the same time and refine potentially noisy initial 3D poses. In this paper, we model people interactions at a whole, independently of their number, and in a permutation-invariant manner building upon the Set Transformer.

  We propose a novel system that first regresses a set of 2.5D representations of body parts and then reconstructs the 3D absolute poses based on these 2.5D representations with a depth-aware part association algorithm. Such a single-shot bottom-up scheme allows the system to better learn and reason about the inter-person depth relationship, improving both 3D and 2D pose estimation.

  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.
