Details

Video-based 3D Human Pose and Shape Estimation is a technology that reconstructs a human mesh from images and video, and it has high utility across various industries such as computer graphics and healthcare.

Existing video-based methods modeled temporal relationships by compressing spatial information (Global Average Pooling), but this process caused spatial information loss, leading to increased reconstruction error. To address this, this research proposes a new framework that lowers the complexity of Spatio-temporal Attention while improving performance.

The key technologies are as follows:

  • Spatial Alignment Module (SAM): Spatially aligns (warps) features from adjacent frames to the central feature, preventing information loss even with camera movement or fast motion.
  • Space2Batch: By treating the spatial dimension as a batch to decompose temporal correlation, it dramatically reduces the complexity of Attention from $O(dw^2h^2T^2)$ to $O(dwhT^2)$.
  • Uncertainty-guided Attention Re-weighting: Enhances model robustness by preventing errors from frames with motion blur or occlusion from propagating throughout the entire sequence.

Through these techniques, the model achieved SOTA (State-of-the-Art) performance on major benchmark datasets, and these results were presented at WACV 2024.
