HUMANNET—A Two-Tiered Deep Neural Network Architecture for Self-Occluding Humanoid Pose Reconstruction

Majority of current research focuses on a single static object reconstruction from a given pointcloud. However, the existing approaches are not applicable to real world applications such as dynamic and morphing scene reconstruction.

description Majority of current research focuses on a single static object reconstruction from a given pointcloud. However, the existing approaches are not applicable to real world applications such as dynamic and morphing scene reconstruction. To solve this, we propose a novel two-tiered deep neural network architecture, which is capable of reconstructing self-obstructed human-like morphing shapes from a depth frame in conjunction with cameras intrinsic parameters. The tests were performed using on custom dataset generated using a combination of AMASS and MoVi datasets. The proposed network achieved Jaccards’ Index of 0.7907 for the first tier, which is used to extract region of interest from the point cloud. The second tier of the network has achieved Earth Mover’s distance of 0.0256 and Chamfer distance of 0.276, indicating good experimental results. Further, subjective reconstruction results inspection shows strong predictive capabilities of the network, with the solution being able to reconstruct limb positions from very few object details.
