A Survey on Depth Ambiguity of 3D Human Pose Estimation
Siqi Zhang, Chaofang Wang, Wenlong Dong, Bin Fan · Applied Sciences · 2022
Depth ambiguity is one of the main challenges of three-dimensional (3D) human pose estimation (HPE). The recent strategies of disambiguating have brought significant progress and remarkable breakthroughs in the field of 3D human pose estimation (3D HPE). This survey extensively reviews the causes and solutions of the depth ambiguity. The solutions are systematically classified into four categories: camera parameter constraints, temporal consistency constraints, kinematic constraints, and image cues constraints. This paper summarizes the performance comparison, challenges, main frameworks, and evaluation metrics, and discusses some promising future research directions.
