Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Human pose estimation has achieved significant progress on images with high imaging resolution. However, low-resolution imagery data bring nontrivial challenges which are still under-studied. To fill this gap, we start with investigating existing methods and reveal that the most dominant heatmap-based methods would suffer more severe model performance degradation from low-resolution, and offset learning is an effective strategy. Established on this observation, in this work we propose a novel Confidence-Aware Learning (CAL) method which further addresses two fundamental limitations of existing offset learning methods: inconsistent training and testing, decoupled heatmap and offset learning. Specifically, CAL selectively weighs the learning of heatmap and offset with respect to ground-truth and most confident prediction, whilst capturing the statistical importance of model output in mini-batch learning manner. Extensive experiments conducted on the COCO benchmark show that our method outperforms significantly the state-of-the-art methods for low-resolution human pose estimation. (c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.
