• Title: Unsupervised 3D Pose Estimation with Non-Rigid Structure-from-Motion Modeling
• Authors: Haorui Ji, Hui Deng, Yuchao Dai, Hongdong Li
• Abstract summary: 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.

• Abstract: Most of the previous 3D human pose estimation work relied on the powerful memory capability of the network to obtain suitable 2D-3D mappings from the training data. Few works have studied the modeling of human posture deformation in motion. In this paper, 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, and a frame-by-frame skeleton deformation. 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, and then sum them to obtain the pose of each frame. Subsequently, a loss term based on the diffusion model is used to ensure that the pipeline learns the correct prior motion knowledge. Finally, we have evaluated our proposed method on mainstream datasets and obtained superior results outperforming the state-of-the-art.

  We introduce SkelFormer, a novel markerless motion capture pipeline for multi-view human pose and shape estimation. Our method first uses off-the-shelf 2D keypoint estimators, pre-trained on large-scale in-the-wild data, to obtain 3D joint positions. Next, we design a regression-based inverse-kinematic skeletal transformer that maps the joint positions to pose and shape representations from heavily noisy observations.

  We propose a transformer-based model EvoPose to introduce the human body prior knowledge for 3D human pose estimation effectively. A Structural Priors Representation (SPR) module represents human priors as structural features carrying rich body patterns. A Recursive Refinement (RR) module is applied to the 3D pose outputs by utilizing estimated results and further injects human priors simultaneously.

  HuMoR is a 3D Human Motion Model for Robust Estimation of temporal pose and shape.

We demonstrate that our model generalizes to diverse motions and body shapes after training on a large motion capture dataset.

  Generalizability of human pose estimation models developed using supervision on large-scale in-studio datasets remains questionable. We propose a novel kinematic-structure-preserved unsupervised 3D pose estimation framework, which is not restrained by any paired or unpaired weak supervisions. Our proposed model employs three consecutive differentiable transformations named as forward-kinematics, camera-projection and spatial-map transformation.

  Instead of directly regressing the 3D joint locations, we decompose the task into bone direction prediction and bone length prediction. Our motivation is the fact that the bone lengths of a human skeleton remain consistent across time. Our full model outperforms the previous best results on Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP datasets.
