论文笔记：CVPR2021 Bottom-Up Human Pose Estimation Via Disentangled Keypoint Regression

task：Human pose estimation

motivation：regressing keypoint positions accurately needs to learn representations that focus on the keypoint regions.

background：

two main paradigms: top-down and bottom-up.

top-down： first detects the person and then performs single-person pose estimation for each detected person.

bottom-up： either directly regresses the keypoint positions belonging to the same person, or detects and groups the keypoints.

The top-down paradigm is more accurate but more costly due to an extra person detection pro- cess, and the bottom-up paradigm, the interest of this paper, is more efficient. 但是需要繁重的后处理工作。

method：

两个创新点：

1）.自适应卷积激活关键点周围像素的区域以学习到新特征

2）.multi-branch parallel adaptive convolutions to learn disentangled representations for the regression of the K keypoints, so that each representation focuses on the cor- responding keypoint region.
