Estimating 3D human poses from a monocular video is still a challenging task. Many existing methods' performance drops when the target person is occluded by other objects, or the motion is too fast/slow relative to the scale and speed of…

Occlusion relationship reasoning demands closed contour to express the object, and orientation of each contour pixel to describe the order relationship between objects. Current CNN-based methods neglect two critical issues of the task: (1)…
