• Abstract summary: We propose a technique to infer joint orientations throughout a biomechanically informed, and subject-specific kinematic chain. We generate 3D pose motion sequences to assess the IK approach both for general accuracy, and accuracy in boundary cases. Our temporal algorithm achieves 6DOF pose estimates with low Mean Per Joint Angular Separation (MPJAS) errors.

• Abstract: Computer vision/deep learning-based 3D human pose estimation methods aim to localize human joints from images and videos. Pose representation is normally limited to 3D joint positional/translational degrees of freedom (3DOFs), however, a further three rotational DOFs (6DOFs) are required for many potential biomechanical applications. Positional DOFs are insufficient to analytically solve for joint rotational DOFs in a 3D human skeletal model. Therefore, we propose a temporal inverse kinematics (IK) optimization technique to infer joint orientations throughout a biomechanically informed, and subject-specific kinematic chain. For this, we prescribe link directions from a position-based 3D pose estimate. Sequential least squares quadratic programming is used to solve a minimization problem that involves both frame-based pose terms, and a temporal term. The solution space is constrained using joint DOFs, and ranges of motion (ROMs). We generate 3D pose motion sequences to assess the IK approach both for general accuracy, and accuracy in boundary cases. Our temporal algorithm achieves 6DOF pose estimates with low Mean Per Joint Angular Separation (MPJAS) errors (3.7{\deg}/joint overall, & 1.6{\deg}/joint for lower limbs). With frame-by-frame IK we obtain low errors in the case of bent elbows and knees, however, motion sequences with phases of extended/straight limbs results in ambiguity in twist angle. With temporal IK, we reduce ambiguity for these poses, resulting in lower average errors.

  3D human pose estimation approaches leverage different forms of strong (2D/3D pose) or weak (multi-view or depth) paired supervision. We cast 3D pose learning as a self-supervised adaptation problem that aims to transfer the task knowledge from a labeled source domain to a completely unpaired target. We evaluate different self-adaptation settings and demonstrate state-of-the-art 3D human pose estimation performance on standard benchmarks.

In particular, we introduce a human-joint GCN, which employs the 2D pose estimator's confidence scores to improve the pose estimation results. The two GCNs work together to estimate the spatial frame-wise 3D poses and can make use of both visible joint and bone information in the target frame to estimate the occluded or missing human-part information.
