C3DPO: Canonical 3D Pose Networks for Non-Rigid Structure From Motion

December 2019

tl;dr: Infer 3D pose for non-rigid objects by introducing DL to non-rigid structure-from-motion (NR-SFM).

Overall impression

C3DPO transforms closed-formed matrix decomposition problem into a DL-based parameter estimation problem. This method is faster and also can embody prior info that is not apparent in the linear model.

A challenge in NR-SFM is the ambiguity of internal object deformation (or pose in this paper, non-rigid motion) and viewpoint changes (rigid motion). C3DPO introduces a canonicalization network to encourage the consistent decomposition.
