• Title: On Triangulation as a Form of Self-Supervision for 3D Human Pose Estimation
• Authors: Soumava Kumar Roy, Leonardo Citraro, Sina Honari and Pascal Fua
• Abstract summary: Supervised approaches to 3D pose estimation from single images are remarkably effective when labeled data is abundant. Much of the recent attention has shifted towards semi and (or) weakly supervised learning. We propose to impose multi-view geometrical constraints by means of a differentiable triangulation and to use it as form of self-supervision during training when no labels are available.

• Abstract: Supervised approaches to 3D pose estimation from single images are remarkably effective when labeled data is abundant. Therefore, much of the recent attention has shifted towards semi and (or) weakly supervised learning. Generating an effective form of supervision with little annotations still poses major challenges in crowded scenes. However, since it is easy to observe a scene from multiple cameras, we propose to impose multi-view geometrical constraints by means of a differentiable triangulation and to use it as form of self-supervision during training when no labels are available. We therefore train a 2D pose estimator in such a way that its predictions correspond to the re-projection of the triangulated 3D one and train an auxiliary network on them to produce the final 3D poses. We complement the triangulation with a weighting mechanism that nullify the impact of noisy predictions caused by self-occlusion or occlusion from other subjects. Our experimental results on Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP substantiate the significance of our weighting strategy where we obtain state-of-the-art results in the semi and weakly supervised learning setup. We also contribute a new multi-player sports dataset that features occlusion, and show the effectiveness of our algorithm over baseline triangulation methods.

  We propose a monocular camera and single LiDAR-based method for 3D multi-person pose estimation in large-scale scenes. Specifically, we design an effective fusion strategy to take advantage of multi-modal input data, including images and point cloud. Our method exploits the inherent geometry constraints of point cloud for self-supervision and utilizes 2D keypoints on images for weak supervision.

  Existing self-supervised 3D human pose estimation schemes have largely relied on weak supervisions to guide the learning. We propose a novel self-supervised approach that allows us to explicitly generate 2D-3D pose pairs for augmenting supervision. This is made possible via introducing a reinforcement-learning-based imitator, which is learned jointly with a pose estimator alongside a pose hallucinator.

  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.

We propose a practical deployment paradigm where paired 2D or 3D pose annotations are unavailable.

  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.
