Human Pose Estimation
一、Definition:
- defined as the problem of localization of human joints
- challenges of this problem – strong articulations, small and barely visible joints
二、Two methods:
- Top-down:Locate Person -> Locate Joints
- Bottom-up: Locate All Joints -> which person

Author:Alexander Toshev, Christian Szegedy (Google)
Main contributions:
1、formulate the pose estimation as a joint regression problem
Using the entire image as input for each joint.
2、propose a cascade of DNN-based pose predictors
Method:
pose vector:
A labeled image:
Normalize the joint coordinates to
