Despite significant progress, estimating 3D human poses from monocular videos remains a challenging task due to depth ambiguity and self-occlusion. Most existing works attempt to solve both issues by ex-ploiting spatial and temporal relationships. However, those works ignore the fact that it is an inverse problem where multiple feasible solutions (i.e., hypotheses) exist. To relieve this limitation, we propose a Multi-Hypothesis Transformer that learns spatio-temporal representations of multiple plausible pose hypotheses. In order to effectively model multi-hypothesis dependencies and build strong relationships across hypothesis features, we introduce a one-to-many-to-one three-stage framework: (i) Generate mul-tiple initial hypothesis representations; (ii) Model self-hypothesis communication, merge multiple hy-potheses into a single converged representation and then partition it into several diverged hypotheses; (iii) Learn cross-hypothesis communication and aggregate the multi-hypothesis features to synthesize the final 3D pose. Through the above processes, the final representation is enhanced and the synthesized pose is much more accurate. Extensive experiments show that the proposed method achieves state-of -the-art results on two challenging datasets: Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP.
