• Title: Benchmarking Monocular 3D Dog Pose Estimation Using In-The-Wild Motion Capture Data
• Authors: Moira Shooter, Charles Malleson, Adrian Hilton,
• Abstract summary: We introduce a new benchmark analysis focusing on 3D canine pose estimation from monocular in-the-wild images. A multi-modal dataset 3DDogs-Lab was captured indoors, featuring various dog breeds trotting on a walkway. We create 3DDogs-Wild, a naturalised version of the dataset where the optical markers are in-painted and the subjects are placed in diverse environments. We show that using the 3DDogs-Wild to train the models leads to improved performance when evaluating on in-the-wild data.

• Abstract: We introduce a new benchmark analysis focusing on 3D canine pose estimation from monocular in-the-wild images. A multi-modal dataset 3DDogs-Lab was captured indoors, featuring various dog breeds trotting on a walkway. It includes data from optical marker-based mocap systems, RGBD cameras, IMUs, and a pressure mat. While providing high-quality motion data, the presence of optical markers and limited background diversity make the captured video less representative of real-world conditions. To address this, we created 3DDogs-Wild, a naturalised version of the dataset where the optical markers are in-painted and the subjects are placed in diverse environments, enhancing its utility for training RGB image-based pose detectors. We show that using the 3DDogs-Wild to train the models leads to improved performance when evaluating on in-the-wild data. Additionally, we provide a thorough analysis using various pose estimation models, revealing their respective strengths and weaknesses. We believe that our findings, coupled with the datasets provided, offer valuable insights for advancing 3D animal pose estimation.

  Behavior is typically studied in terms of pose changes, which are ideally captured in three dimensions. This requires triangulation over a multi-camera system which view the animal from different angles. Here we propose the usage of lift-pose models that allow for robust 3D pose estimation of freely moving rodents from a single view camera view.

  We present a solution to egocentric 3D body pose estimation from monocular images captured from downward looking fish-eye cameras installed on the rim of a head mounted VR device. This unusual viewpoint leads to images with unique visual appearance, with severe self-occlusions and perspective distortions. We propose an encoder-decoder architecture with a novel multi-branch decoder designed to account for the varying uncertainty in 2D predictions.
