Our work addresses the problem of egocentric human pose estimation from downwards-facing cameras on head-mounted devices (HMD). This presents a challenging scenario, as parts of the body often fall outside of the image or are occluded.…
Deducing a 3D human pose from a single 2D image is inherently challenging because multiple 3D poses can correspond to the same 2D representation. 3D data can resolve this pose ambiguity, but it is expensive to record and requires an…
A key assumption of top-down human pose estimation approaches is their expectation of having a single person/instance present in the input bounding box. This often leads to failures in crowded scenes with occlusions. We propose a novel…
The phenomenon of Human Pose Estimation (HPE) is a problem that has been explored over the years, particularly in computer vision. But what exactly is it? To answer this, the concept of a pose must first be understood. Pose can be defined…
In monocular 3D human pose estimation a common setup is to first detect 2D positions and then lift the detection into 3D coordinates. Many algorithms suffer from overfitting to camera positions in the training set. We propose a siamese…
