Joint Training of a Convolutional Network and a Graphical Model for Human Pose Estimation

Key Points

This research aims to develop a hybrid model for human pose estimation using deep learning and graphical models.
Created a hybrid architecture combining a convolutional network and a Markov random field.
Applied the architecture to articulate human pose estimation in monocular images.
Utilized joint training to enhance model performance based on structural domain constraints.

Abstract

This paper proposes a new hybrid architecture that consists of a deep Network and a Markov Random Field. We show how this architecture successfully applied to the challenging problem of articulated human pose in monocular images. The architecture can exploit structural domain such as geometric relationships between body joint locations. We that joint training of these two model paradigms improves performance and us to significantly outperform existing state-of-the-art techniques.
