• Abstract: In this paper, we present a new bottom-up one-stage method for whole-body pose estimation, which we name "hierarchical point regression," or HPRNet for short, referring to the network that implements this method. To handle the scale variance among different body parts, we build a hierarchical point representation of body parts and jointly regress them. Unlike the existing two-stage methods, our method predicts whole-body pose in a constant time independent of the number of people in an image. On the COCO WholeBody dataset, HPRNet significantly outperforms all previous bottom-up methods on the keypoint detection of all whole-body parts (i.e. body, foot, face and hand); it also achieves state-of-the-art results in the face (75.4 AP) and hand (50.4 AP) keypoint detection. Code and models are available at https://github.com/nerminsamet/HPRNet.git.

We propose a novel capsule autoencoder network with fast Variational Bayes capsule routing, named DECA. In the experimental validation, we outperform other methods on depth images from both seen and unseen viewpoints, both top-view, and front-view.

  We propose a two-stage graph-based and model-agnostic framework, called Graph-PCNN. In the first stage, heatmap regression network is applied to obtain a rough localization result, and a set of proposal keypoints, called guided points, are sampled. In the second stage, for each guided point, different visual feature is extracted by the localization. The relationship between guided points is explored by the graph pose refinement module to get more accurate localization results.

  We present several schemes that are rarely or unthoroughly studied before for improving keypoint detection and grouping (keypoint regression) performance. First, we exploit the keypoint heatmaps for pixel-wise keypoint regression instead of separating them for improving keypoint regression. Second, we adopt a pixel-wise spatial transformer network to learn adaptive representations for handling the scale and orientation variance. Third, we present a joint shape and heatvalue scoring scheme to promote the estimated poses that are more likely to be true poses.
