Résumé scientifique
The standard approach to image instance segmentation is to perform the object detection first, and then segment the object from the detection bounding-box. More recently, deep learning methods like Mask R-CNN perform them jointly. However, little research takes into account the uniqueness of the "human" category, which can be well defined by the pose skeleton. Moreover, the human pose skeleton can be used to better distinguish instances with heavy occlusion than using bounding-boxes. In this paper, we present a brand new pose-based instance segmentation framework for humans which separates instances based on human pose, rather than proposal region detection. We demonstrate that our pose-based framework can achieve better accuracy than the state-of-art detection-based approach on the human instance segmentation problem, and can moreover better handle occlusion. Furthermore, there are few public datasets containing many heavily occluded humans along with comprehensive annotations, which makes this a challenging problem seldom noticed by researchers. Therefore, in this paper we introduce a new benchmark "Occluded Human (OCHuman)", which focuses on occluded humans with comprehensive annotations including bounding-box, human pose and instance masks. This dataset contains 8110 detailed annotated human instances within 4731 images. With an average 0.67 MaxIoU for each person, OCHuman is the most complex and challenging dataset related to human instance segmentation. Through this dataset, we want to emphasize occlusion as a challenging problem for researchers to study.

PoSeg: Pose-Aware Refinement Network for Human Instance SegmentationDesen Zhou, Qian He · 2020 · IEEE Access · cité 11 fois · Pas encore résumé
Ce cadre estime les articulations invisibles en foule et souligne le manque de benchmarks fortement occlus, comme le benchmark OCHuman de Pose2Seg.
Résumé scientifique
Human instance segmentation is a core problem for human-centric scene understanding and segmenting human instances poses a unique challenge to vision systems due to large intra-class variations in both appearance and shape, and complicated occlusion patterns. In this paper, we propose a new pose-aware human instance segmentation method. Compared to the previous pose-aware methods which first predict bottom-up poses and then estimate instance segmentation on top of predicted poses, our method integrates both top-down and bottom-up cues for an instance: it adopts detection results as human proposals and jointly estimates human pose and instance segmentation for each proposal. We develop a modu…

Joint Human Pose Estimation and Instance Segmentation with PosePlusSegNiaz Ahmad, Jawad Khan, Jeremy Yuhyun Kim et al. · 2022 · AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence · cité 8 fois · Pas encore résumé
PosePlusSeg associe estimation de pose et segmentation humaine dans un modèle conjoint, tandis que cet article sépare les instances à partir de la pose.
Résumé scientifique
Despite the advances in multi-person pose estimation, state-of-the-art techniques only deliver the human pose structure.Yet, they do not leverage the keypoints of human pose to deliver whole-body shape information for human instance segmentation. This paper presents PosePlusSeg, a joint model designed for both human pose estimation and instance segmentation. For pose estimation, PosePlusSeg first takes a bottom-up approach to detect the soft and hard keypoints of individuals by producing a strong keypoint heat map, then improves the keypoint detection confidence score by producing a body heat map. For instance segmentation, PosePlusSeg generates a mask offset where keypoint is defined as a c…

ROM-Pose traite l’effet des occlusions sur l’estimation de pose humaine, plutôt que la segmentation d’instances humaines.
Résumé scientifique
Human pose estimation (HPE) is a field focused on estimating human poses by detecting key points in images. HPE includes methods like top-down and bottom-up approaches. The top-down approach uses a two-stage process, first locating and then detecting key points on humans with bounding boxes, whereas the bottom-up approach directly detects individual key points and integrates them to estimate the overall pose. In this article, we address the problem of bounding box detection inaccuracies in certain situations using the top-down method. The detected bounding boxes, which serve as input for the model, impact the accuracy of pose estimation. Occlusions occur when a part of the target’s body is o…

Eigenpose: Occlusion-Robust 3D Human Mesh ReconstructionMi-Gyeong Gwon, Gi-Mun Um, Won-Sik Cheong et al. · 2025 · IEEE Transactions on Image Processing · cité 4 fois · Pas encore résumé
Eigenpose reconstruit des maillages humains en 3D malgré les occlusions, tandis que cet article segmente les personnes en instances.
Résumé scientifique
A new approach for occlusion-robust 3D human mesh reconstruction from a single image is introduced in this paper. Since occlusion has emerged as a major problem to be resolved in this field, there have been meaningful efforts to deal with various types of occlusions (e.g., person-to-person occlusion, person-to-object occlusion, self-occlusion, etc.). Although many recent studies have shown the remarkable progress, previous regression-based methods still have respective limitations to handle occlusion problems due to the lack of the appearance information. To address this problem, we propose a novel method for human mesh reconstruction based on the pose-relevant subspace analysis. Specificall…

Human Instance Segmentation Based on Omega-Shape segmente des personnes en scènes encombrées où l’occlusion dégrade les méthodes existantes.
Résumé scientifique
Human detection and segmentation in an unconstrained environment is a very important and difficult task, having many important applications including tracking human beings, pedestrian detection, head count etc. Human detection in a single object environment is quite easy, but the problem becomes quite cumbersome in a crowded and cluttered environment. Most of the existing algorithms work on the detection and segmentation of the whole person in a scene. However, the performance of such algorithms degrades in case of occlusion and cluttered environment. To increase the performance in such an environment a technique is available that detects a distinct part of the human body which is “omega sha…

CrowdHuman fournit un jeu de données annoté pour étudier la détection humaine en foule et l’occlusion, comme OCHuman pour la segmentation.
Résumé scientifique
Human detection has witnessed impressive progress in recent years. However, the occlusion issue of detecting human in highly crowded environments is far from solved. To make matters worse, crowd scenarios are still under-represented in current human detection benchmarks. In this paper, we introduce a new dataset, called CrowdHuman, to better evaluate detectors in crowd scenarios. The CrowdHuman dataset is large, rich-annotated and contains high diversity. There are a total of $470K$ human instances from the train and validation subsets, and $~22.6$ persons per image, with various kinds of occlusions in the dataset. Each human instance is annotated with a head bounding-box, human visible-regi…

Pose2Body utilise les estimations de pose pour segmenter des parties du corps, plutôt que des instances humaines entières.
Résumé scientifique
Reliable human parts segmentation on 2D images plays an important role in many human-centric computer vision tasks. While significant achievements have been made on human pose estimation, the performance on human parts segmentation remains low. In this paper, we present a novel technique that we call Pose2Body that robustly conducts human parts segmentation based on the pose estimation results. We partition an image into superpixels and set out to assign a segment label to each superpixel most consistent with the pose. We design special feature vectors for every superpixel-label assignment as well as superpixel-superpixel pairs and model optimal labeling as to solve for a conditional random …

Mask R-CNNKaiming He, Georgia Gkioxari, Piotr Dollár et al. · 2017 · Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition · cité 33 854 fois · Résumé IA disponible
Mask R-CNN détecte les objets et produit leurs masques conjointement, contrairement à la séparation des personnes fondée sur la pose.
Résumé scientifique
We present a conceptually simple, flexible, and general framework for object instance segmentation. Our approach efficiently detects objects in an image while simultaneously generating a high-quality segmentation mask for each instance. The method, called Mask R-CNN, extends Faster R-CNN by adding a branch for predicting an object mask in parallel with the existing branch for bounding box recognition. Mask R-CNN is simple to train and adds only a small overhead to Faster R-CNN, running at 5 fps. Moreover, Mask R-CNN is easy to generalize to other tasks, e.g., allowing us to estimate human poses in the same framework. We show top results in all three tracks of the COCO suite of challenges, in…

PersonLab associe les pixels aux personnes par des embeddings géométriques dans une approche sans boîtes pour la segmentation d’instances humaines.
Résumé scientifique
We present a box-free bottom-up approach for the tasks of pose estimation and instance segmentation of people in multi-person images using an efficient single-shot model. The proposed PersonLab model tackles both semantic-level reasoning and object-part associations using part-based modeling. Our model employs a convolutional network which learns to detect individual keypoints and predict their relative displacements, allowing us to group keypoints into person pose instances. Further, we propose a part-induced geometric embedding descriptor which allows us to associate semantic person pixels with their corresponding person instance, delivering instance-level person segmentations. Our system …

Realtime Multi-person 2D Pose Estimation détecte et associe les parties du corps pour estimer des poses, représentation mobilisée par cet article.
Résumé scientifique
We present an approach to efficiently detect the 2D pose of multiple people in an image. The approach uses a nonparametric representation, which we refer to as Part Affinity Fields (PAFs), to learn to associate body parts with individuals in the image. The architecture encodes global context, allowing a greedy bottom-up parsing step that maintains high accuracy while achieving realtime performance, irrespective of the number of people in the image. The architecture is designed to jointly learn part locations and their association via two branches of the same sequential prediction process. Our method placed first in the inaugural COCO 2016 keypoints challenge, and significantly exceeds the pr…

Pose2Instance: Harnessing Keypoints for Person Instance SegmentationSubarna Tripathi, Maxwell D. Collins, Matthew A. Brown et al. · 2017 · arXiv.org · preprint, non relu par les pairs · cité 21 fois · Pas encore résumé
Pose2Instance exploite les points clés comme a priori pour améliorer la segmentation d’instances humaines, notamment sur des images annotées de COCO.
Résumé scientifique
Human keypoints are a well-studied representation of people.We explore how to use keypoint models to improve instance-level person segmentation. The main idea is to harness the notion of a distance transform of oracle provided keypoints or estimated keypoint heatmaps as a prior for person instance segmentation task within a deep neural network. For training and evaluation, we consider all those images from COCO where both instance segmentation and human keypoints annotations are available. We first show how oracle keypoints can boost the performance of existing human segmentation model during inference without any training. Next, we propose a framework to directly learn a deep instance segme…

Towards Accurate Multi-person Pose Estimation estime les points clés humains à partir de boîtes, fournissant une méthode de pose pertinente pour la segmentation fondée sur la pose.
Résumé scientifique
We propose a method for multi-person detection and 2-D pose estimation that achieves state-of-art results on the challenging COCO keypoints task. It is a simple, yet powerful, top-down approach consisting of two stages. In the first stage, we predict the location and scale of boxes which are likely to contain people, for this we use the Faster RCNN detector. In the second stage, we estimate the keypoints of the person potentially contained in each proposed bounding box. For each keypoint type we predict dense heatmaps and offsets using a fully convolutional ResNet. To combine these outputs we introduce a novel aggregation procedure to obtain highly localized keypoint predictions. We also use…

Occluded Human Mesh RecoveryRawal Khirodkar, Shashank Tripathi, Kris Kitani · 2022 · Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition · cité 95 fois · Pas encore résumé
Occluded Human Mesh Recovery vise la reconstruction de maillages humains sous occlusion entre personnes, et non la segmentation de leurs instances.
Résumé scientifique
Top-down methods for monocular human mesh recovery have two stages: (1) detect human bounding boxes; (2) treat each bounding box as an independent single-human mesh recovery task. Unfortunately, the single-human assumption does not hold in images with multi-human occlusion and crowding. Consequently, top-down methods have difficulties in recovering accurate 3D human meshes under severe person-person occlusion. To address this, we present Occluded Human Mesh Recovery (OCHMR) - a novel top-down mesh recovery approach that incorporates image spatial context to overcome the limitations of the single-human assumption. The approach is conceptually simple and can be applied to any existing top-down…

When Human Pose Estimation Meets Robustness utilise OCHuman-C pour évaluer la robustesse des estimateurs de pose face aux corruptions.
Résumé scientifique
Human pose estimation is a fundamental yet challenging task in computer vision, which aims at localizing human anatomical keypoints. However, unlike human vision that is robust to various data corruptions such as blur and pixelation, current pose estimators are easily confused by these corruptions. This work comprehensively studies and addresses this problem by building rigorous robust benchmarks, termed COCO-C, MPII-C, and OCHuman-C, to evaluate the weaknesses of current advanced pose estimators, and a new algorithm termed AdvMix is proposed to improve their robustness in different corruptions. Our work has several unique benefits. (1) AdvMix is model-agnostic and capable in a wide-spectrum…

Multi-Instance Pose Networks: Rethinking Top-Down Pose EstimationRawal Khirodkar, Visesh Chari, Amit Agrawal et al. · 2021 · IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision · cité 84 fois · Pas encore résumé
Multi-Instance Pose Networks prédit plusieurs poses dans une boîte pour mieux traiter les foules et les occlusions, sans étudier la segmentation.
Résumé scientifique
A key assumption of top-down human pose estimation approaches is their expectation of having a single person/instance present in the input bounding box. This often leads to failures in crowded scenes with occlusions. We propose a novel solution to overcome the limitations of this fundamental assumption. Our Multi-Instance Pose Network (MIPNet) allows for predicting multiple 2D pose instances within a given bounding box. We introduce a Multi-Instance Modulation Block (MIMB) that can adaptively modulate channel-wise feature responses for each instance and is parameter efficient. We demonstrate the efficacy of our approach by evaluating on COCO, CrowdPose, and OCHuman datasets. Specifically, we…

MultiPoseSeg transfère des connaissances entre estimation de pose et segmentation d’instances pour traiter les scènes à plusieurs personnes.
Résumé scientifique
Multi-person pose estimation and instance segmentation suffer large performance loss when images are with an increasing number of people and their uncontrolled complex appearance. Yet, existing models cannot efficiently leverage unbalanced training images, i.e., few of them are with multi-person, and most are with single-person, making them ineffective for challenging multi-person scenarios. To tackle multi-person cases with a limited portion of them, we propose MultiPoseSeg, a data preparation and feedback knowledge transfer system designed for multi-person pose estimation and instance segmentation. First, MultiPoseSeg categorically performs random data reduction to reduce the single-person…

Peeking into occluded joints: A novel framework for crowd pose estimationLing-Teng Qiu, Xuanye Zhang, Yanran Li et al. · 2020 · European Conference on Computer Vision · cité 92 fois · Pas encore résumé
Peeking into occluded joints étudie la pose en foule et propose un benchmark avec davantage d’occlusions, un enjeu également mis en avant ici.
Résumé scientifique
Although occlusion widely exists in nature and remains a fundamental challenge for pose estimation, existing heatmap-based approaches suffer serious degradation on occlusions. Their intrinsic problem is that they directly localize the joints based on visual information; however, the invisible joints are lack of that. In contrast to localization, our framework estimates the invisible joints from an inference perspective by proposing an Image-Guided Progressive GCN module which provides a comprehensive understanding of both image context and pose structure. Moreover, existing benchmarks contain limited occlusions for evaluation. Therefore, we thoroughly pursue this problem and propose a novel …
