• Abstract: In-bed pose estimation has shown value in fields such as hospital patient monitoring, sleep studies, and smart homes. In this paper, we explore different strategies for detecting body pose from highly ambiguous pressure data, with the aid of pre-existing pose estimators. We examine the performance of pre-trained pose estimators by using them either directly or by re-training them on two pressure datasets. We also explore other strategies utilizing a learnable pre-processing domain adaptation step, which transforms the vague pressure maps to a representation closer to the expected input space of common purpose pose estimation modules. Accordingly, we used a fully convolutional network with multiple scales to provide the pose-specific characteristics of the pressure maps to the pre-trained pose estimation module. Our complete analysis of different approaches shows that the combination of learnable pre-processing module along with re-training pre-existing image-based pose estimators on the pressure data is able to overcome issues such as highly vague pressure points to achieve very high pose estimation accuracy.

  SRPose is a sparse keypoint-based framework for two-view relative pose estimation in camera-to-world and object-to-camera scenarios. It achieves competitive or superior performance compared to state-of-the-art methods in terms of accuracy and speed. It is robust to different image sizes and camera intrinsics, and can be deployed with low computing resources.

  We introduce SkelFormer, a novel markerless motion capture pipeline for multi-view human pose and shape estimation.

Next, we design a regression-based inverse-kinematic skeletal transformer that maps the joint positions to pose and shape representations from heavily noisy observations.

  Current approaches approximate the continuous pose representation with a large number of discrete pose hypotheses. We present a Deep Voxel Matching Network (DVMNet) that eliminates the need for pose hypotheses and computes the relative object pose in a single pass. Our method delivers more accurate relative pose estimates for novel objects at a lower computational cost compared to state-of-the-art methods.

  Estimating camera poses is a fundamental task for 3D reconstruction and remains challenging given sparsely sampled views. We propose a distributed representation of camera pose that treats a camera as a bundle of rays. Our proposed methods, both regression- and diffusion-based, demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on camera pose estimation on CO3D.

  We propose a novel online approach to learning the pose dynamics, which are independent of pose detections in current fame. Specifically, we derive this prediction of dynamics through a graph neural network(GNN) that explicitly accounts for both spatial-temporal and visual information. Experiments on PoseTrack 2017 and PoseTrack 2018 datasets demonstrate that the proposed method achieves results superior to the state of the art on both human pose estimation and tracking tasks.
