MoCap-guided Data Augmentation for 3D Pose Estimation in the Wild

Neural Information Processing Systems

This paper addresses the problem of 3D human pose estimation in the wild. A significant challenge is the lack of training data, i.e., 2D images of humans annotated with 3D poses. Such data is necessary to train state-of-the-art CNN architectures. Here, we propose a solution to generate a large set of photorealistic synthetic images of humans with 3D pose annotations. We introduce an image-based synthesis engine that artificially augments a dataset of real images with 2D human pose annotations using 3D Motion Capture (MoCap) data.

The augmentations include: Color: adjusts the brightness, saturation, and contrast of images. Flip: flips the images horizontally with a probability of 0.5. It happens at a probability of 0.5. The first part is the update of the synthetic images. The second part is the update of the network.
