• Abstract: 3D Human body pose and shape estimation within a temporal sequence can be quite critical for understanding human behavior. Despite the significant progress in human pose estimation in the recent years, which are often based on single images or videos, human motion estimation on live stream videos is still a rarely-touched area considering its special requirements for real-time output and temporal consistency. To address this problem, we present a temporally embedded 3D human body pose and shape estimation (TePose) method to improve the accuracy and temporal consistency of pose estimation in live stream videos. TePose uses previous predictions as a bridge to feedback the error for better estimation in the current frame and to learn the correspondence between data frames and predictions in the history. A multi-scale spatio-temporal graph convolutional network is presented as the motion discriminator for adversarial training using datasets without any 3D labeling. We propose a sequential data loading strategy to meet the special start-to-end data processing requirement of live stream. We demonstrate the importance of each proposed module with extensive experiments. The results show the effectiveness of TePose on widely-used human pose benchmarks with state-of-the-art performance.

Our framework demonstrates flexibility by being model-agnostic, allowing us to use any off-the-shelf 3D pose estimation method for improving robustness and temporal consistency. We validate STRIDE's efficacy through comprehensive experiments on challenging datasets like Occluded Human3.6M, Human3.6M, and OCMotion.

  We propose a new modeling method for human pose deformations and design an accompanying diffusion-based motion prior. Inspired by the field of non-rigid structure-from-motion, we divide the task of reconstructing 3D human skeletons in motion into the estimation of a 3D reference skeleton. A mixed spatial-temporal NRSfMformer is used to simultaneously estimate the 3D reference skeleton and the skeleton deformation of each frame from 2D observations sequence.

We introduce atemporal-temporal network for robust 3D human pose estimation.
