Many real-world applications in augmented reality (AR), 3D mapping, and robotics require both fast and accurate estimation of camera poses and scales from multiple images captured by multiple cameras or a single moving camera. Achieving high speed and maintaining high accuracy in a pose-and-scale estimator are often conflicting goals. To simultaneously achieve both, we exploit a priori knowledge about the solution space. We present gDLS*, a generalized-camera-model pose-and-scale estimator that utilizes rotation and scale priors. gDLS* allows an application to flexibly weigh the contribution of each prior, which is important since priors often come from noisy sensors. Compared to state-of-the-art generalized-pose-and-scale estimators (e.g., gDLS), our experiments on both synthetic and real data consistently demonstrate that gDLS* accelerates the estimation process and improves scale and pose accuracy.

We present gP4Pc, a new method for computing the absolute pose of a generalized camera with unknown internal scale from four corresponding 3D point-and-ray pairs. Unlike most pose-and-scale methods, gP4Pc is based on constraints arising from the cong
ruence of shapes defined by two sets of four points related by an unknown similarity transformation. By choosing a novel parametrization for the problem, we derive a system of four quadratic equations in four scalar variables. The variables represent the distances of 3D points along the rays from the camera centers. After solving this system via Groebner basis-based automatic polynomial solvers, we compute the similarity transformation using an efficient 3D point-point alignment method. We also propose a specialized variant of our solver for the case of coplanar points, which is computationally very efficient and about 3x faster than the fastest existing solver. Our experiments on real and synthetic datasets, demonstrate that gP4Pc is among the fastest methods in terms of total running time when used within a RANSAC framework, while achieving competitive numerical stability, accuracy, and robustness to noise.
Human pose estimation is an important topic in computer vision with many applications including gesture and activity recognition. However, pose estimation from image is challenging due to appearance variations, occlusions, clutter background, and com
plex activities. To alleviate these problems, we develop a robust pose estimation method based on the recent deep conv-deconv modules with two improvements: (1) multi-scale supervision of body keypoints, and (2) a global regression to improve structural consistency of keypoints. We refine keypoint detection heatmaps using layer-wise multi-scale supervision to better capture local contexts. Pose inference via keypoint association is optimized globally using a regression network at the end. Our method can effectively disambiguate keypoint matches in close proximity including the mismatch of left-right body parts, and better infer occluded parts. Experimental results show that our method achieves competitive performance among state-of-the-art methods on the MPII and FLIC datasets.
We develop a robust multi-scale structure-aware neural network for human pose estimation. This method improves the recent deep conv-deconv hourglass models with four key improvements: (1) multi-scale supervision to strengthen contextual feature learn
ing in matching body keypoints by combining feature heatmaps across scales, (2) multi-scale regression network at the end to globally optimize the structural matching of the multi-scale features, (3) structure-aware loss used in the intermediate supervision and at the regression to improve the matching of keypoints and respective neighbors to infer a higher-order matching configurations, and (4) a keypoint masking training scheme that can effectively fine-tune our network to robustly localize occluded keypoints via adjacent matches. Our method can effectively improve state-of-the-art pose estimation methods that suffer from difficulties in scale varieties, occlusions, and complex multi-person scenarios. This multi-scale supervision tightly integrates with the regression network to effectively (i) localize keypoints using the ensemble of multi-scale features, and (ii) infer global pose configuration by maximizing structural consistencies across multiple keypoints and scales. The keypoint masking training enhances these advantages to focus learning on hard occlusion samples. Our method achieves the leading position in the MPII challenge leaderboard among the state-of-the-art methods.
We present AutoPose, a novel neural architecture search(NAS) framework that is capable of automatically discovering multiple parallel branches of cross-scale connections towards accurate and high-resolution 2D human pose estimation. Recently, high-pe
rformance hand-crafted convolutional networks for pose estimation show growing demands on multi-scale fusion and high-resolution representations. However, current NAS works exhibit limited flexibility on scale searching, they dominantly adopt simplified search spaces of single-branch architectures. Such simplification limits the fusion of information at different scales and fails to maintain high-resolution representations. The presentedAutoPose framework is able to search for multi-branch scales and network depth, in addition to the cell-level microstructure. Motivated by the search space, a novel bi-level optimization method is presented, where the network-level architecture is searched via reinforcement learning, and the cell-level search is conducted by the gradient-based method. Within 2.5 GPU days, AutoPose is able to find very competitive architectures on the MS COCO dataset, that are also transferable to the MPII dataset. Our code is available at https://github.com/VITA-Group/AutoPose.
Heatmap representations have formed the basis of 2D human pose estimation systems for many years, but their generalizations for 3D pose have only recently been considered. This includes 2.5D volumetric heatmaps, whose X and Y axes correspond to image
space and the Z axis to metric depth around the subject. To obtain metric-scale predictions, these methods must include a separate, explicit post-processing step to resolve scale ambiguity. Further, they cannot encode body joint positions outside of the image boundaries, leading to incomplete pose estimates in case of image truncation. We address these limitations by proposing metric-scale truncation-robust (MeTRo) volumetric heatmaps, whose dimensions are defined in metric 3D space near the subject, instead of being aligned with image space. We train a fully-convolutional network to estimate such heatmaps from monocular RGB in an end-to-end manner. This reinterpretation of the heatmap dimensions allows us to estimate complete metric-scale poses without test-time knowledge of the focal length or person distance and without relying on anthropometric heuristics in post-processing. Furthermore, as the image space is decoupled from the heatmap space, the network can learn to reason about joints beyond the image boundary. Using ResNet-50 without any additional learned layers, we obtain state-of-the-art results on the Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP benchmarks. As our method is simple and fast, it can become a useful component for real-time top-down multi-person pose estimation systems. We make our code publicly available to facilitate further research (see https://vision.rwth-aachen.de/metro-pose3d).
