3D human pose estimation refers to inferring the three-dimensional pose information of the human body from images or videos through computer vision and deep learning technology. It is an important research direction in the field of computer vision and has wide application potential, such as human-computer interaction, motion analysis, virtual reality, augmented reality, etc.
Traditional 2D human pose estimation methods mainly focus on pose inference through two-dimensional images, that is, extracting the position information of human key points from the image, and then infer the human pose based on the spatial relationship of these key points. However, due to the lack of depth information and blur in 2D image projection, 2D pose estimation often cannot accurately capture the three-dimensional information of the human body.
Algorithm introduction
In order to solve this problem, researchers began to explore the use of deep learning technology for 3D human pose estimation. Deep learning technology can learn higher-level feature representations, thereby improving the accuracy of pose estimation. The methods and techniques for 3D human pose estimation will be briefly described below.
- Single-view method
The single-view method is one of the most common 3D human pose estimation methods. It works by inferring the three-dimensional pose of a human body from images captured from a single camera perspective. This method is usually divided into two steps: 2D pose estimation and 3D reconstruction.

In the 2D pose estimation stage, deep learning models are used to detect and locate human body key points from the input image. These key points can be joint locations on the human body or markers for specific body parts. By predicting the positions of these key points, the two-dimensional posture information of the human body in the image can be obtained.
Then, in the 3D reconstruction stage, the two-dimensional attitude information is combined with other information (such as depth images, camera parameters, etc.), and the two-dimensional attitude information is converted into three-dimensional attitude information through some geometric transformation methods. These geometric transformation methods can be perspective projection, triangulation, etc. Finally, through these steps, we can get the three-dimensional pose of the human body.
- Multi-view methods
Multi-view methods utilize images captured from multiple different views or cameras for 3D human pose estimation. This method can improve the accuracy of pose estimation by leveraging complementary information from multiple views.
In the multi-view method, 2D pose estimation is first performed on the image from each camera view through the single-view method. Then, the 2D pose information is converted into 3D pose information by using the 2D pose information from multiple views, combined with camera parameters and geometric constraints.
The main advantage of the multi-view method is that it can provide more viewing angles and more geometric information, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of pose estimation. But at the same time, it also increases the complexity of the system, requiring steps such as image alignment and calibration from multiple perspectives.
- Deep Learning-Based Methods
In recent years, deep learning-based methods have made significant progress in the field of 3D human pose estimation. These methods use deep learning models to train large-scale data sets to learn feature representations and patterns of human postures.
Methods based on deep learning usually adopt an end-to-end training strategy, which takes the input image as the input of the model and directly outputs the three-dimensional posture of the human body. This method can avoid the multi-stage processing in traditional methods and can improve the accuracy of pose estimation through training on large-scale datasets.
Methods based on deep learning usually adopt deep learning models such as convolutional neural network (CNN) or recurrent neural network (RNN) for pose estimation. These models are usually trained using 3D pose annotation data to learn the mapping relationship from images to poses.
- Methods that combine sensors
In addition to using images or videos as input, other sensors, such as depth cameras (such as Microsoft Kinect) or inertial measurement units (IMU), can also be combined to improve the accuracy and robustness of 3D human pose estimation.
Model effect
Depth cameras can provide depth information of the human body, thereby helping to estimate three-dimensional poses more accurately. IMU can provide human body motion information to help solve the problem of dynamic posture estimation.

Methods of combining sensors usually require steps such as sensor calibration and data fusion to combine information from different sensors. These methods can provide more sources of information, thereby improving the accuracy and robustness of pose estimation.
