• Abstract: We introduce CHAMP, a novel method for learning sequence-to-sequence, multi-hypothesis 3D human poses from 2D keypoints by leveraging a conditional distribution with a diffusion model. To predict a single output 3D pose sequence, we generate and aggregate multiple 3D pose hypotheses. For better aggregation results, we develop a method to score these hypotheses during training, effectively integrating conformal prediction into the learning process. This process results in a differentiable conformal predictor that is trained end2end with the 3D pose estimator. Post-training, the learned scoring model is used as the conformity score, and the 3D pose estimator is combined with a conformal predictor to select the most accurate hypotheses for downstream aggregation. Our results indicate that using a simple mean aggregation on the conformal prediction-filtered hypotheses set yields competitive results. When integrated with more sophisticated aggregation techniques, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance across various metrics and datasets while inheriting the probabilistic guarantees of conformal prediction.

  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.

  Recent advanced Text-to-Image (T2I) diffusion models are sometimes too imaginative for existing off-the-shelf dense predictors to estimate. We introduce DMP, a pipeline utilizing pre-trained T2I models as a prior for dense prediction tasks. Despite limited-domain training data, the approach yields faithful estimations for arbitrary images, surpassing existing state-of-the-art algorithms.

  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.

  Existing self-supervised 3D human pose estimation schemes have largely relied on weak supervisions to guide the learning. We propose a novel self-supervised approach that allows us to explicitly generate 2D-3D pose pairs for augmenting supervision. This is made possible via introducing a reinforcement-learning-based imitator, which is learned jointly with a pose estimator alongside a pose hallucinator.
