Multi-person pose estimation is a challenging problem. Existing methods are mostly two-stage based--one stage for proposal generation and the other for allocating poses to corresponding persons. However, such two-stage methods generally…
Multi-person pose estimation is an attractive and challenging task. Existing methods are mostly based on two-stage frameworks, which include top-down and bottom-up methods. Two-stage methods either suffer from high computational redundancy…
Multi-person pose estimation generally follows top-down and bottom-up paradigms. Both of them use an extra stage ($\boldsymbol{e.g.,}$ human detection in top-down paradigm or grouping process in bottom-up paradigm) to build the relationship…
Existing pose estimation approaches fall into two categories: single-stage and multi-stage methods. While multi-stage methods are seemingly more suited for the task, their performance in current practice is not as good as single-stage…
In general, human pose estimation methods are categorized into two approaches according to their architectures: regression (i.e., heatmap-free) and heatmap-based methods. The former one directly estimates precise coordinates of each…
