  • Keypoint based pose-tracking using entailment
    Patent number: 11475590
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure describe systems, methods and structures for an efficient multi-person posetracking method that advantageously achieves state-of-the-art performance on PoseTrack datasets by only using keypoint information in a tracking step without optical flow or convolution routines. As a consequence, our method has fewer parameters and FLOPs and achieves faster FPS. Our method benefits from our parameter-free tracking method that outperforms commonly used bounding box propagation in top-down methods. Finally, we disclose tokenization and embedding multi-person pose keypoint information in the transformer architecture that can be re-used for other pose tasks such as pose-based action recognition.
