Description

This thesis addresses the problem of data scarcity in human deep-learning applications. Automated estimation of human shape and pose from an image is challenging. It is even more difficult to map the identified human pixels onto a 3D model. Existing deep-learning models learn to map manually labelled human pixels in 2D images onto human surface, which is prone to human error, and the sparsity of annotated data leads to sub-optimal results. We solve this problem by generating realistic artificial human video data to train 2D-3D human mapping models and show promising results when compared to models trained on real data.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
