Improvement of Human Pose Estimation and Processing With the Intensive Feature Consistency Network

Abstract

The modeling of human body kye-points is the most significant aspect of pose estimation appropriately. Computer vision algorithm identifies human pose, body-movement, and action in many ways. Most of the previous works taken advantage for finding accuracy or efficiency in terms of speed. However, many techniques suffer for intensive computational demands with low-latency or higher proceeding speed. We have designed a unique approach for single-person pose estimation and action recognition which is well suited for fitness application and mobility activities. The proposed framework has been developed with a base network that provides an initial pose to further refinement through Intensive Feature Consistency (IFC) network. The IFC network enforces high-level constraints on the global body intensity correction and local body part adjustments. The proposed module reduces the impact of body joint movement diversity by interpreting long-term consistent view. We have illustrated the effectiveness of proposed framework through pose estimation accuracy improvement with two benchmark datasets. Which is specified state-of the- art performance of IFC network under the required real-time processing speed on the CPU platform. The IFC network has improved 99.1% of PCK body and 94.7% of PCK torso accuracy under 31 FPS, which is comparatively higher than the existing work.
