• Abstract summary: We introduce MRP-Net that constitutes a common deep network backbone with two output heads subscribing to two diverse configurations. We derive suitable measures to quantify prediction uncertainty at both pose and joint level. We present a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed approach and demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on benchmark datasets.

• Abstract: The advances in monocular 3D human pose estimation are dominated by supervised techniques that require large-scale 2D/3D pose annotations. Such methods often behave erratically in the absence of any provision to discard unfamiliar out-of-distribution data. To this end, we cast the 3D human pose learning as an unsupervised domain adaptation problem. We introduce MRP-Net that constitutes a common deep network backbone with two output heads subscribing to two diverse configurations; a) model-free joint localization and b) model-based parametric regression. Such a design allows us to derive suitable measures to quantify prediction uncertainty at both pose and joint level granularity. While supervising only on labeled synthetic samples, the adaptation process aims to minimize the uncertainty for the unlabeled target images while maximizing the same for an extreme out-of-distribution dataset (backgrounds). Alongside synthetic-to-real 3D pose adaptation, the joint-uncertainties allow expanding the adaptation to work on in-the-wild images even in the presence of occlusion and truncation scenarios. We present a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed approach and demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on benchmark datasets.

  3D human pose forecasting, i.e., predicting a sequence of future human 3D poses given a sequence of past observed ones, is a challenging-temporal task. We provide a unified formulation in which incomplete elements (no matter in the prediction or observation) are treated as noise and propose a conditional diffusion model that denoises them and forecasts plausible poses. We investigate our findings on four standard datasets and obtain significant improvements over the state-of-the-art.

  Self-supervised human mesh recovery methods have poor generalizability due to limited availability and diversity of 3D-annotated benchmark datasets. We propose cross-representation alignment utilizing the complementary information from the robust but sparse representation (2D keypoints) This adaptive cross-representation alignment explicitly learns from the deviations and captures complementary information: richness from sparse representation and robustness from dense representation.

  3D human pose estimation approaches leverage different forms of strong (2D/3D pose) or weak (multi-view or depth) paired supervision. We cast 3D pose learning as a self-supervised adaptation problem that aims to transfer the task knowledge from a labeled source domain to a completely unpaired target. We evaluate different self-adaptation settings and demonstrate state-of-the-art 3D human pose estimation performance on standard benchmarks.

  Generalizability of human pose estimation models developed using supervision on large-scale in-studio datasets remains questionable. We propose a novel kinematic-structure-preserved unsupervised 3D pose estimation framework, which is not restrained by any paired or unpaired weak supervisions. Our proposed model employs three consecutive differentiable transformations named as forward-kinematics, camera-projection and spatial-map transformation.
