• Abstract summary: Training vs. test data domain gaps often negatively affect model performance. We present our adapted human pose (AHuP) approach that addresses adaptation problems in both appearance and pose spaces. 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.

• Abstract: The ultimate goal for an inference model is to be robust and functional in real life applications. However, training vs. test data domain gaps often negatively affect model performance. This issue is especially critical for the monocular 3D human pose estimation problem, in which 3D human data is often collected in a controlled lab setting. In this paper, we focus on alleviating the negative effect of domain shift by presenting our adapted human pose (AHuP) approach that addresses adaptation problems in both appearance and pose spaces. 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. We illustrate the 3D pose estimation performance of AHuP in two scenarios. First, when source and target data differ significantly in both appearance and pose spaces, in which we learn from synthetic 3D human data (with zero real 3D human data) and show comparable performance with the state-of-the-art 3D pose estimation models that have full access to the real 3D human pose benchmarks for training. Second, when source and target datasets differ mainly in the pose space, in which AHuP approach can be applied to further improve the performance of the state-of-the-art models when tested on the datasets different from their training dataset.

  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.

  Most 3D-HPE methods rely on regression models, which assume a one-to-one mapping between inputs and outputs. We propose ManiPose, a novel manifold-constrained multi-hypothesis model capable of proposing multiple candidate 3D poses for each 2D input. Unlike previous multi-hypothesis approaches, our solution is completely supervised and does not rely on complex generative models.

  Estimating 3D human poses from a monocular video is still a challenging task. Many existing methods drop when the target person is cluded by other objects, or the motion is too fast/slow relative to the scale and speed of the training data. We introduce atemporal-temporal network for robust 3D human pose estimation.
