We propose embodied scene-aware human pose estimation where we estimate 3D poses based on a simulated agent's proprioception and scene awareness, along with external third-person observations. Unlike prior methods that often resort to…
The task of three-dimensional (3D) human pose estimation from a single image can be divided into two parts: (1) Two-dimensional (2D) human joint detection from the image and (2) estimating a 3D pose from the 2D joints. Herein, we focus on…
Human pose estimation, the process of identifying joint positions in a person's body from images or videos, represents a widely utilized technology across diverse fields, including healthcare. One such healthcare application involves in-bed…
We present a fast bottom-up method that jointly detects over 100 keypoints on humans or objects, also referred to as human/object pose estimation. We model all keypoints belonging to a human or an object -- the pose -- as a graph and…
Microsoft Kinect camera and its skeletal tracking capabilities have been embraced by many researchers and commercial developers in various applications of real-time human movement analysis. In this paper, we evaluate the accuracy of the…
Radar-based human pose estimation enables privacy-preserving motion tracking for ambient intelligence, yet the noisy nature of radar sensing makes uncertainty quantification essential. We present RadProPoser, an end-to-end probabilistic…
The Skinned Multi-Person Linear (SMPL) model can represent a human body by mapping pose and shape parameters to body meshes. This has been shown to facilitate inferring 3D human pose and shape from images via different learning models.…
3D human pose estimation (HPE) is characterized by intricate local and global dependencies among joints. Conventional supervised losses are limited in capturing these correlations because they treat each joint independently. Previous…
