AbsPoseLifter: Absolute 3D Human Pose Lifting Network from a Single Noisy 2D Human Pose
share
This study presents a new network (i.e., AbsPoseLifter) that lifts a 2D human pose to an absolute 3D pose in a camera coordinate system. The proposed network estimates the absolute 3D location of a target subject and also outputs a considerably improved 3D relative pose estimation compared with those of existing pose lifting methods. We also propose using our AbsPoseLifter with a 2D pose estimator in a cascade fashion to estimate 3D human pose from a single RGB image. In this case, we empirically prove that using realistic 2D poses synthesized with the real error distribution of 2D body joints considerably improves the performance of our AbsPoseLifter. The proposed method is applied to public datasets to achieve state-of-the-art 2D-to-3D pose lifting and 3D human pose estimation.
