TLDR
OpenPose is released, the first open-source realtime system for multi-person 2D pose detection, including body, foot, hand, and facial keypoints, and the first combined body and foot keypoint detector, based on an internal annotated foot dataset.
Abstract
Realtime multi-person 2D pose estimation is a key component in enabling machines to have an understanding of people in images and videos. In this work, we present a realtime approach to detect the 2D pose of multiple people in an image. The proposed method uses a nonparametric representation, which we refer to as Part Affinity Fields (PAFs), to learn to associate body parts with individuals in the image. This bottom-up system achieves high accuracy and realtime performance, regardless of the number of people in the image. In previous work, PAFs and body part location estimation were refined simultaneously across training stages. We demonstrate that a PAF-only refinement rather than both PAF and body part location refinement results in a substantial increase in both runtime performance and accuracy. We also present the first combined body and foot keypoint detector, based on an internal annotated foot dataset that we have publicly released. We show that the combined detector not only reduces the inference time compared to running them sequentially, but also maintains the accuracy of each component individually. This work has culminated in the release of OpenPose, the first open-source realtime system for multi-person 2D pose detection, including body, foot, hand, and facial keypoints.

Locality Aware Appearance Metric for Multi-Target Multi-Camera Tracking.

TL;DR: It is argued that the mismatch between the local matching procedure in tracking and the global nature of re-ID appearance features may compromise MTMCT performance, and introduces locality aware appearance metric (LAAM), which is a trained metric for single camera tracking and an inter-camera metric for multi-camera tracking.

Admittance control for collaborative dual-arm manipulation

TL;DR: This work proposes a kinematic control strategy for dual-arm robotic platforms physically collaborating with human operators based on admittance control at improving the performance of object transportation tasks by acting on two levels: estimating and compensating gravity effects on one side and considering human intention in the cooperative task space on the other.

What is part affinity field?

Part Affinity Fields (PAFs) are a nonparametric representation used in the proposed method to associate body parts with individuals in an image. They are used to learn the spatial relationships between body parts and enable the detection of multiple people's 2D pose in real-time.
