Human pose estimation aims to locate the human body parts and build human body representation (e.g., body skeleton) from input data such as images and videos. It has drawn increasing attention during the past decade and has been utilized in…

The standard approach to image instance segmentation is to perform the object detection first, and then segment the object from the detection bounding-box. More recently, deep learning methods like Mask R-CNN perform them jointly. However,…

Existing 2D-to-3D pose lifting networks suffer from poor performance in cross-dataset benchmarks. Although the use of 2D keypoints joined by "stick-figure" limbs has shown promise as an intermediate step, stick-figures do not account for…

Segment Anything (SAM) provides an unprecedented foundation for human segmentation, but may struggle under occlusion, where keypoints may be partially or fully invisible. We adapt SAM 2.1 for pose-guided segmentation with minimal encoder…

Cross view feature fusion is the key to address the occlusion problem in human pose estimation. The current fusion methods need to train a separate model for every pair of cameras making them difficult to scale. In this work, we introduce…

Pose prediction is to predict future poses given a window of previous poses. In this paper, we propose a new problem that predicts poses using 3D joint coordinate sequences. Different from the traditional pose prediction based on Mocap…

3D pose estimation from sparse multi-views is a critical task for numerous applications, including action recognition, sports analysis, and human-robot interaction. Optimization-based methods typically follow a two-stage pipeline, first…

We propose a new method to reconstruct the 3D human body from RGB-D images with occlusions. The foremost challenge is the incompleteness of the RGB-D data due to occlusions between the body and the environment, leading to implausible…

Human pose estimation (i.e., locating the body parts / joints of a person) is a fundamental problem in human-computer interaction and multimedia applications. Significant progress has been made based on the development of depth sensors,…

Occlusion Boundary Estimation (OBE) identifies boundaries arising from both inter-object occlusions and self-occlusion within individual objects. This task is closely related to Monocular Depth Estimation (MDE), which infers depth from a…

Estimating 3D poses from a monocular video is still a challenging task, despite the significant progress that has been made in recent years. Generally, the performance of existing methods drops when the target person is too small/large, or…
