Look into Person: Joint Body Parsing & Pose Estimation Network and A New Benchmark

3 code implementations5 Apr 2018 Xiaodan Liang, Ke Gong, Xiaohui Shen, Liang Lin

To further explore and take advantage of the semantic correlation of these two tasks, we propose a novel joint human parsing and pose estimation network to explore efficient context modeling, which can simultaneously predict parsing and pose with extremely high quality.
