• Authors: Hongbo Kang, Yong Wang, Mengyuan Liu, Doudou Wu, Peng Liu, Xinlin Yuan, Wenming Yang
• Abstract summary: Previous probabilistic models for 3D Human Pose Estimation (3DHPE) aimed to enhance pose accuracy by generating multiple hypotheses. Most of the hypotheses generated deviate substantially from the true pose. Compared to deterministic models, the excessive uncertainty in probabilistic models leads to weaker performance in single-hypothesis prediction. We propose a diffusion-based refinement framework called DRPose, which refines the output of deterministic models by reverse diffusion.

• Abstract: Previous probabilistic models for 3D Human Pose Estimation (3DHPE) aimed to enhance pose accuracy by generating multiple hypotheses. However, most of the hypotheses generated deviate substantially from the true pose. Compared to deterministic models, the excessive uncertainty in probabilistic models leads to weaker performance in single-hypothesis prediction. To address these two challenges, we propose a diffusion-based refinement framework called DRPose, which refines the output of deterministic models by reverse diffusion and achieves more suitable multi-hypothesis prediction for the current pose benchmark by multi-step refinement with multiple noises. To this end, we propose a Scalable Graph Convolution Transformer (SGCT) and a Pose Refinement Module (PRM) for denoising and refining. Extensive experiments on Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP datasets demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on both single and multi-hypothesis 3DHPE. Code is available at https://github.com/KHB1698/DRPose.

  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.

  3D human pose forecasting, i.e., predicting a sequence of future human 3D poses given a sequence of past observed ones, is a challenging-temporal task. We provide a unified formulation in which incomplete elements (no matter in the prediction or observation) are treated as noise and propose a conditional diffusion model that denoises them and forecasts plausible poses. We investigate our findings on four standard datasets and obtain significant improvements over the state-of-the-art.
