Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Modeling the relationship among human joints is one of the most important components in human pose estimation. Most of previous methods define this relationship as a geometric constraint on the relative locations of two neighboring joints. In this constraint, the local appearance of the region connecting two neighboring joints is ignored. However, discarding this image appearance leads to some severe problems, such as double-counting and localization failure when the human pose is rare in the training dataset. Moreover, this image appearance, called human limb, plays an important role in human pose estimation in human visual system. Due to these reasons, we propose to solve a new task: human limb detection, which aims at detecting and representing this local image appearance. We combine this task with human joint localization as a unified framework. After getting the initial detections, we design a twosteps graphical model to capture the spatial relationship among human joints and limbs in a coarse to fine way. We evaluate the proposed method on two widely used datasets for human pose estimation: 1) frame labeled in cinema and 2) leeds sports pose datasets. The experiments results show the effectiveness of our method.
