Uncertainty-Aware Testing-Time Optimization for 3D Human Pose Estimation
Uncertainty-Aware Testing-Time Optimization for 3D Human Pose Estimation

In this paper, we propose an Uncertainty-Aware testing-time Optimization (UAO) framework for 3D human pose estimation. During the training process, we propose the GUMLP to estimate 3D results and uncertainty values for each joint. For test-time optimization, our UAO framework freezes the pre-trained network parameters and optimizes a latent state initialized by the input 2D pose. To constrain the optimization direction in both 2D and 3D spaces, projection and uncertainty constraints are applied. Extensive experiments show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art performance on two popular datasets

Skeleton-in-context: Unified skeleton sequence modeling with in-context learning
Skeleton-in-context: Unified skeleton sequence modeling with in-context learning

In this work, we propose the Skeleton-in-Context, designed to process multiple skeleton-base tasks simultaneously after just one training time. Specifically, we build a novel skeleton-based in-context benchmark covering various tasks. In particular, we propose skeleton prompts composed of TGP and TUP, which solve the overfitting problem of skeleton sequence data trained under the training framework commonly applied in previous 2D and 3D in-context models. Besides, we demonstrate that our model can generalize to different datasets and new tasks, such as motion completion. We hope our research builds the first step in the exploration of in-context learning for skeleton-based sequences, which paves the way for further research in this area.

Explore In-Context Learning for 3D Point Cloud Understanding
Explore In-Context Learning for 3D Point Cloud Understanding

We propose Point-In-Context (PIC), the first framework adopting the in-context learning paradigm for 3D point cloud understanding. Specifically, we set up an extensive dataset of point cloud pairs with four fundamental tasks to achieve in-context ability. We propose effective designs that facilitate the training and solve the inherited information leakage problem. PIC shows its excellent learning capacity, achieves comparable results with single-task models, and outperforms multitask models on all four tasks. Besides, it shows good generalization ability to out-of-distribution samples and unseen tasks and has great potential via selecting higher-quality prompts. We hope it paves the way for further exploration of in-context learning in the 3D modalities.
