Pose trajectory extraction and novel-view synthesis from visual content

Multi-person articulated pose tracking is an important while challenging problem in human behavior understanding. In this talk, going along the road of top-down approaches, I will introduce a decent and efficient pose tracker based on pose flows. This approach can achieve real-time pose tracking without loss of accuracy. Besides, to better understand human activities in visual contents, clothes texture and geometric details also play indispensable roles. However, extrapolating them from a single image is much more difficult than rigid objects due to its large variations in pose, shape, and cloth. I will present a two-stage pipeline to predict human bodies and synthesize human novel views from one single-view image.
