• Title: Improving 2D Human Pose Estimation in Rare Camera Views with Synthetic Data
• Authors: Miroslav Purkrabek, Jiri Matas,
• Abstract summary: We introduce RePoGen, an SMPL-based method for generating synthetic humans with comprehensive control over pose and view. Experiments on top-view datasets and a new dataset of real images with diverse poses show that adding the RePoGen data to the COCO dataset outperforms previous approaches.

• Abstract: Methods and datasets for human pose estimation focus predominantly on side- and front-view scenarios. We overcome the limitation by leveraging synthetic data and introduce RePoGen (RarE POses GENerator), an SMPL-based method for generating synthetic humans with comprehensive control over pose and view. Experiments on top-view datasets and a new dataset of real images with diverse poses show that adding the RePoGen data to the COCO dataset outperforms previous approaches to top- and bottom-view pose estimation without harming performance on common views. An ablation study shows that anatomical plausibility, a property prior research focused on, is not a prerequisite for effective performance. The introduced dataset and the corresponding code are available on https://mirapurkrabek.github.io/RePoGen-paper/ .

  We propose UniGaze, which leverages large-scale, in-the-wild facial datasets through self-supervised pre-training for gaze estimation. By directly applying Masked Autoencoder (MAE) pre-training on normalized face images with a Vision Transformer (ViT) backbone, our UniGaze learns appropriate feature representations within the specific input space required by downstream gaze estimation models.

  We introduce a single-view generalizable Human Gaussian Model (HGM) Our approach uses a ControlNet to refine rendered back-view images from coarse predicted human Gaussians. To mitigate the potential generation of unrealistic human poses and shapes, we incorporate human priors from the SMPL-X model as a dual branch.

  Eye image segmentation is a critical step in eye tracking that has great influence over the final gaze estimate.

Our methods result in robust, improved performance when tackling the discrepancy between simulation and real-world data samples.

  We propose an effective model training pipeline consisting of a training data synthesis and a gaze estimation model for unsupervised domain adaptation. The proposed data synthesis leverages the single-image 3D reconstruction to expand the range of the head poses from the source domain without requiring a 3D facial shape dataset. We propose a disentangling autoencoder network to separate gaze-related features and introduce background augmentation consistency loss to utilize the characteristics of the synthetic source domain.

By segmenting and permuting temporal segments or human body parts, we design two self-supervised learning classification tasks.
