• Abstract: We propose a new self-supervised method for predicting 3D human body pose from a single image. The prediction network is trained from a dataset of unlabelled images depicting people in typical poses and a set of unpaired 2D poses. By minimising the need for annotated data, the method has the potential for rapid application to pose estimation of other articulated structures (e.g. animals). The self-supervision comes from an earlier idea exploiting consistency between predicted pose under 3D rotation. Our method is a substantial advance on state-of-the-art self-supervised methods in training a mapping directly from images, without limb articulation constraints or any 3D empirical pose prior. We compare performance with state-of-the-art self-supervised methods using benchmark datasets that provide images and ground-truth 3D pose (Human3.6M, MPI-INF-3DHP). Despite the reduced requirement for annotated data, we show that the method outperforms on Human3.6M and matches performance on MPI-INF-3DHP. Qualitative results on a dataset of human hands show the potential for rapidly learning to predict 3D pose for articulated structures other than the human body.

  Most 3D-HPE methods rely on regression models, which assume a one-to-one mapping between inputs and outputs. We propose ManiPose, a novel manifold-constrained multi-hypothesis model capable of proposing multiple candidate 3D poses for each 2D input. Unlike previous multi-hypothesis approaches, our solution is completely supervised and does not rely on complex generative models.

  Several methods have proposed to learn image representations in a self-supervised fashion so as to disentangle the appearance information from the pose one. We study disentanglement from the perspective of the self-supervised network, via diverse image synthesis experiments. We design an adversarial strategy focusing on generating natural appearance changes of the subject, and against which we could expect a disentangled network to be robust.

  We propose a novel Pose Orientation Net (PONet) that is able to robustly estimate 3D pose by learning orientations only. PONet estimates the 3D orientation of these limbs by taking advantage of the local image evidence to recover the 3D pose. We evaluate our method on multiple datasets, including Human3.6M, MPII, MPI-INF-3DHP, and 3DPW.

  We propose an unsupervised approach that learns to predict a 3D human pose from a single image. We estimate the 3D pose that is most likely over random projections, with the likelihood estimated using normalizing flows on 2D poses. We outperform the state-of-the-art unsupervised human pose estimation methods on the benchmark datasets Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP in many metrics.
