• Title: Weakly Supervised Keypoint Discovery
• Authors: Serim Ryou and Pietro Perona
• Abstract summary: We propose a method for keypoint discovery from a 2D image using image-level supervision. Motivated by the weakly-supervised learning approach, our method exploits image-level supervision to identify discriminative parts. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance for the task of keypoint estimation on the limited supervision scenarios.

• Abstract: In this paper, we propose a method for keypoint discovery from a 2D image using image-level supervision. Recent works on unsupervised keypoint discovery reliably discover keypoints of aligned instances. However, when the target instances have high viewpoint or appearance variation, the discovered keypoints do not match the semantic correspondences over different images. Our work aims to discover keypoints even when the target instances have high viewpoint and appearance variation by using image-level supervision. Motivated by the weakly-supervised learning approach, our method exploits image-level supervision to identify discriminative parts and infer the viewpoint of the target instance. To discover diverse parts, we adopt a conditional image generation approach using a pair of images with structural deformation. Finally, we enforce a viewpoint-based equivariance constraint using the keypoints from the image-level supervision to resolve the spatial correlation problem that consistently appears in the images taken from various viewpoints. Our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance for the task of keypoint estimation on the limited supervision scenarios. Furthermore, the discovered keypoints are directly applicable to downstream tasks without requiring any keypoint labels.

  Occluded Person Re-Identification (ReID) is a metric learning task that involves matching occluded individuals based on their appearance. We introduce Keypoint Promptable ReID (KPR), a novel formulation of the ReID problem that explicitly complements the input bounding box with a set of semantic keypoints. We release custom keypoint labels for four popular ReID benchmarks. Experiments on person retrieval, but also on pose tracking, demonstrate that our method systematically surpasses previous state-of-the-art approaches.

  We propose a new approach to applying point-level annotations for weakly-supervised panoptic segmentation. Instead of the dense pixel-level labels used by fully supervised methods, point-level labels only provide a single point for each target as supervision. We formulate the problem in an end-to-end framework by simultaneously generating panoptic pseudo-masks from point-level labels and learning from them.

  We propose a novel method to learn Task-agnostic, UnSupervised Keypoints (TUSK) which can deal with multiple instances. Specifically, we encode semantics into the keypoints by teaching them to reconstruct images from a sparse set of keypoints and their descriptors. This makes our approach amenable to a wider range of tasks than any previous unsupervised keypoint method.
