• Abstract: In sports analytics, accurately capturing both the 3D locations and rotations of body joints is essential for understanding an athlete's biomechanics. While Human Mesh Recovery (HMR) models can estimate joint rotations, they often exhibit lower accuracy in joint localization compared to 3D Human Pose Estimation (HPE) models. Recent work addressed this limitation by combining a 3D HPE model with inverse kinematics (IK) to estimate both joint locations and rotations. However, IK is computationally expensive. To overcome this, we propose a novel 2D-to-3D uplifting model that directly estimates 3D human poses, including joint rotations, in a single forward pass. We investigate multiple rotation representations, loss functions, and training strategies - both with and without access to ground truth rotations. Our models achieve state-of-the-art accuracy in rotation estimation, are 150 times faster than the IK-based approach, and surpass HMR models in joint localization precision.

  We present LInKs, a novel unsupervised learning method to recover 3D human poses from 2D kinematic skeletons. Our approach follows a unique two-step process, which involves first lifting the occluded 2D pose to the 3D domain. This lift-then-fill approach leads to significantly more accurate results compared to models that complete the pose in 2D space alone.

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.

Considering the reprojection constraint, our model can estimate the camera so that we can reproject the estimated 3D pose to the original 2D pose. Results on Human3.6M show that our method outperforms all the state-of-the-art methods, and results on MPI-INF-3DHP show that our method outperforms state-of-the-art by approximately 15.0%.

The main challenge is lacking training data that have complete 3D annotations of all body parts in 2D images. We propose a depth-to-scale (D2S) projection to incorporate the depth difference into the projection function to derive per-joint scale variants.
