• Abstract: Although many approaches for multi-human pose estimation in videos have shown profound results, they require densely annotated data which entails excessive man labor. Furthermore, there exists occlusion and motion blur that inevitably lead to poor estimation performance. To address these problems, we propose a method that leverages an attention mask for occluded joints and encodes temporal dependency between frames using transformers. First, our framework composes different combinations of sparsely annotated frames that denote the track of the overall joint movement. We propose an occlusion attention mask from these combinations that enable encoding occlusion-aware heatmaps as a semi-supervised task. Second, the proposed temporal encoder employs transformer architecture to effectively aggregate the temporal relationship and keypoint-wise attention from each time step and accurately refines the target frame's final pose estimation. We achieve state-of-the-art pose estimation results for PoseTrack2017 and PoseTrack2018 datasets and demonstrate the robustness of our approach to occlusion and motion blur in sparsely annotated video data.

We propose Mix Mix, which has temporal transformer block to separately model the temporal motion of each joint and a transformer block inter-joint spatial correlation. In addition, the network output is extended from the central frame to entire frames of input video, improving the coherence between the input and output benchmarks.
