• Abstract: Occlusion presents a significant challenge in human pose estimation. The challenges posed by occlusion can be attributed to the following factors: 1) Data: The collection and annotation of occluded human pose samples are relatively challenging. 2) Feature: Occlusion can cause feature confusion due to the high similarity between the target person and interfering individuals. 3) Inference: Robust inference becomes challenging due to the loss of complete body structural information. The existing methods designed for occluded human pose estimation usually focus on addressing only one of these factors. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive framework DAG (Data, Attention, Graph) to address the performance degradation caused by occlusion. Specifically, we introduce the mask joints with instance paste data augmentation technique to simulate occlusion scenarios. Additionally, an Adaptive Discriminative Attention Module (ADAM) is proposed to effectively enhance the features of target individuals. Furthermore, we present the Feature-Guided Multi-Hop GCN (FGMP-GCN) to fully explore the prior knowledge of body structure and improve pose estimation results. Through extensive experiments conducted on three benchmark datasets for occluded human pose estimation, we demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing methods. Code and data will be publicly available.

  We propose an occluded human pose estimation framework based on limb joint augmentation to enhance the generalization ability of the pose estimation model on the occluded human bodies. To further enhance the localization ability of the model, this paper constructs a dynamic structure loss function based on limb graphs to explore the distribution of occluded joints.

  Occluded person re-identification (Re-ID) is a challenging problem due to the destruction of occluders. We propose a Feature Completion Transformer (FCFormer) to implicitly complement the semantic information of occluded parts in the feature space. FCFormer achieves superior performance and outperforms the state-of-the-art methods by significant margins on occluded datasets.

  Occlusion poses a great threat to monocular multi-person 3D human pose estimation due to large variability in terms of the shape, appearance, and position of occluders. Existing methods try to handle occlusion with pose priors/constraints, data augmentation, or implicit reasoning. We develop a method to explicitly model this process that significantly improves bottom-up multi-person human pose estimation.

  Epipolar constraints are at the core of feature matching and depth estimation in multi-person 3D human pose estimation methods. Despite the satisfactory performance of this formulation in sparser crowd scenes, its effectiveness is frequently challenged under denser crowd circumstances. In this paper, we depart from the multi-person 3D pose estimation formulation, and instead reformulate it as crowd pose estimation.
