Multi-view Pictorial Structures for 3D Human Pose Estimation

We propose a multi-view pictorial structures model that builds on recent advances in 2D pose estimation and incorporates evidence across multiple viewpoints to allow for robust 3D pose estimation. We evaluate our multi-view pictorial structures approach on the HumanEva-I and MPII Cooking datasets. In comparison to related work for 3D pose estimation our approach achieves similar or better results while operating on single-frames only and not relying on activity specific motion models or tracking. Notably, our approach outperforms state-of-the-art for activities with more complex motions. 

This site hosts the 2-camera version of the MPII (Max Planck Institute for Informatics) Cooking Activities pose challenge as well ground truth annotation for a several sequences from the HumanEva-I dataset used in [1].
