This paper introduces the design and evaluation of NeoPose which is developed for multi-person pose estimation and human detection. The design of NeoPose is targeting the issue of human detection under congested situation and with low resolution in the image. Under such situations, we compared the performance of different versions of NeoPose as well as other existing algorithms in a human detection task. Throughout the task, the usefulness of two kinds of mid-point (physical and geometrical mid-points) and a deconvolution structure was discussed. Experiment results indicated that NeoPose which applied geometrical mid-points and deconvolution structure performed the best in terms of both precision and recall in the evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
