| contents | Pre-training is a general method that is used in a range of deep learning tasks. By first training a model on one task, and then further training on the downstream task used for final evaluation, the model is forced to learn a more general understanding of the input data. While pre-training has been applied to 3D Human Pose Estimation (HPE) previously, the scope of datasets used is typically very limited to some strong benchmarks, like Human3.6M. Therefore, in this project, we expand the scope of an existing 3D HPE scheme to be compatible with additional 2D and 3D HPE datasets, like Occlusion Person. We perform an extensive study on how aspects of 2D pre-training, such as model size, affect downstream performance, and to what extent pre-training can help the model generalize to different datasets. Experimental results show that 2D pre-training consistently outperforms training on 3D data alone, particularly in terms of computational efficiency. Finally, using MPII and Human3.6M, we are able to obtain an MPJPE score of under 64.5mm. |
