• Abstract: Multi-person social interactions are inherently built on coherence and relationships among all individuals within the group, making multi-person localization and body pose estimation essential to understanding these social dynamics. One promising approach is 2D-to-3D pose lifting which provides a 3D human pose consisting of rich spatial details by building on the significant advances in 2D pose estimation. However, the existing 2D-to-3D pose lifting methods often neglect inter-person relationships or cannot handle varying group sizes, limiting their effectiveness in multi-person settings. We propose MuPPet, a novel multi-person 2D-to-3D pose lifting framework that explicitly models inter-person correlations. To leverage these inter-person dependencies, our approach introduces Person Encoding to structure individual representations, Permutation Augmentation to enhance training diversity, and Dynamic Multi-Person Attention to adaptively model correlations between individuals. Extensive experiments on group interaction datasets demonstrate MuPPet significantly outperforms state-of-the-art single- and multi-person 2D-to-3D pose lifting methods, and improves robustness in occlusion scenarios. Our findings highlight the importance of modeling inter-person correlations, paving the way for accurate and socially-aware 3D pose estimation.

  We present a method for teaching machines to understand and model the underlying spatial common sense of diverse human-object interactions in 3D. We show multiple 2D images captured from different viewpoints when humans interact with the same type of objects. Despite its imperfection of the image quality over real images, we demonstrate that the synthesized images are sufficient to learn the 3D human-object spatial relations.

  We propose a novel system that first regresses a set of 2.5D representations of body parts and then reconstructs the 3D absolute poses based on these 2.5D representations with a depth-aware part association algorithm. Such a single-shot bottom-up scheme allows the system to better learn and reason about the inter-person depth relationship, improving both 3D and 2D pose estimation.

  This paper introduces a novel form of supervision - Hierarchical Multi-person Ordinal Relations (HMOR) HMOR encodes interaction information as the ordinal relations of depths and angles hierarchically.
