Are you eager to dive into the fascinating world of Human Pose Estimation (HPE)? Look no further! This guide will help you navigate an immense collection of resources that I have curated while learning about HPE. We will explore everything from the basics to advanced papers, datasets, and practical implementations. Whether you’re just starting out or seeking to deepen your knowledge, this guide has something for everyone.

Why Awesome Human Pose Estimation?

The field of Human Pose Estimation is evolving rapidly, and this curated collection of papers and resources is designed to help you stay abreast of the developments. In HPE, we primarily focus on detecting the positioning and orientation of human limbs and joints in images and videos. To kickstart your learning, I recommend checking the articles on both 2D Pose Estimation and 3D Pose Estimation.

Basics

To get you started on the right foot, here’s a recommended read: A 2019 Guide to Human Pose Estimation with Deep Learning. This article provides foundational knowledge that will make understanding advanced topics much easier.

Papers

Research papers are vital for learning new advancements in HPE. Below are categories to explore:

2D Pose Estimation

• Learning Human Pose Estimation Features with Convolutional Networks – Jain et al. (ICLR 2013)
• DeepPose: Human Pose Estimation via Deep Neural Networks – Toshev et al. (CVPR 2014)
• Joint Training of a Convolutional Network and a Graphical Model for Human Pose Estimation – Tompson et al. (NIPS 2014)

3D Pose Estimation

• 3D Human Pose Estimation from Monocular Images with Deep Convolutional Neural Network – Li et al. (ACCV 2014)
• Towards Accurate Multi-person Pose Estimation in the Wild – Papandreou et al. (CVPR 2017)

Diving Deeper: An Analogy

Imagine you are learning to become a master chef. At first, you might start with a recipe book (the basics of HPE) that teaches you all the essential techniques like chopping, boiling, and frying (2D and 3D pose estimation). As you get more familiar, you begin to experiment with fusion cuisine, mixing ingredients from different cultures (various papers and implementations) to create unique dishes. Just like in cooking, every great chef has their favorite ingredients (datasets) and techniques (popular implementations), and continuously strives to hone their craft!

Datasets

Your experiments with HPE will need data to learn from. Here are some commonly used datasets for both 2D and 3D modeling:

• 2D Datasets:
• MPII Human Pose Dataset
• LSP
• 3D Datasets:
• Human3.6M

Workshops and Blog Posts

Stay up to date with the latest workshops and blog posts that discuss significant findings and implementations in HPE:

• POSETRACK-ECCV
• Real-time Human Pose Estimation in the Browser with TensorFlow.js

Troubleshooting and Staying Connected

As you embark on your journey through the resources on Human Pose Estimation, you may encounter challenges along the way. Here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Ensure you have the correct dependencies installed for the frameworks you are working with, like TensorFlow or PyTorch.
• If a paper is hard to understand, seek out tutorial videos or review articles that break down the concepts.
• You can also check community forums related to AI development for additional support.
