• Abstract summary: We propose infant pose dataset and Deep Aggregation Vision Transformer for human pose estimation. AggPose is a fast trained full transformer framework without using convolution operations to extract features in the early stages. We show that AggPose could effectively learn the multi-scale features among different resolutions and significantly improve the performance of infant pose estimation.

• Abstract: Movement and pose assessment of newborns lets experienced pediatricians predict neurodevelopmental disorders, allowing early intervention for related diseases. However, most of the newest AI approaches for human pose estimation methods focus on adults, lacking publicly benchmark for infant pose estimation. In this paper, we fill this gap by proposing infant pose dataset and Deep Aggregation Vision Transformer for human pose estimation, which introduces a fast trained full transformer framework without using convolution operations to extract features in the early stages. It generalizes Transformer + MLP to high-resolution deep layer aggregation within feature maps, thus enabling information fusion between different vision levels. We pre-train AggPose on COCO pose dataset and apply it on our newly released large-scale infant pose estimation dataset. The results show that AggPose could effectively learn the multi-scale features among different resolutions and significantly improve the performance of infant pose estimation. We show that AggPose outperforms hybrid model HRFormer and TokenPose in the infant pose estimation dataset. Moreover, our AggPose outperforms HRFormer by 0.7% AP on COCO val pose estimation on average. Our code is available at github.com/SZAR-LAB/AggPose.

  The General Movement Assessment (GMA) is a video-based tool to classify infant motor functioning.

  We propose a new end-to-end trainable approach for multi-instance pose estimation by combining a convolutional neural network with a transformer. Inspired by recent work on end-to-end trainable object detection with transformers, we use a transformer encoder-decoder architecture together with a bipartite matching scheme to directly regress the pose of all individuals in a given image. Our model, called POse Estimation Transformer (POET), is trained using a novel set-based global loss that consists of a keypoint loss, a keypoint visibility loss, a center loss and a class loss.

  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.
