Anny-Fit: All-Age Human Mesh Recovery

Recovering 3D human pose and shape from a single image remains a cornerstone of human-centric vision, yet most methods assume adult subjects and optimize each person independently. These assumptions fail in real-world, all-age scenes, where body proportions and depth must be resolved jointly. We introduce Anny-Fit, a multi-person, camera-space optimization framework for all-age 3D human mesh recovery (HMR). Unlike existing per-person fitting methods, Anny-Fit jointly optimizes all individuals directly in the camera coordinate system, enforcing global spatial consistency. At the core of our approach is the use of multiple forms of expert knowledge -- including metric depth maps, instance segmentation, 2D keypoints, and, VLM-derived semantic attributes such as age and gender -- each obtained from dedicated off-the-shelf networks. These complementary signals jointly guide the optimization, constraining the depth-scale ambiguity characteristic of all-age scenes. Across diverse datasets, Anny-Fit consistently improves 2D reprojection accuracy (+13 to 16), relative depth ordering (+6 to 7), 3D estimation error (-9 to -29) and shape estimation (+25 to +82), producing more coherent scenes. Finally, we show that VLM-based semantic knowledge can be distilled into an HMR model via the pseudo-ground-truth annotations produced by Anny-Fit on training data, enabling it to learn semantically meaningful shape parameters while improving HMR performance. Our approach bridges adult-only and all-age modeling by enabling zero-shot adaptation of adult-trained HMR pipelines to the full age spectrum without retraining.

Mimetics: Towards Understanding Human Actions Out of Context

Recent methods for video action recognition have reached outstanding performances on existing benchmarks. However, they tend to leverage context such as scenes or objects instead of focusing on understanding the human action itself. For instance, a tennis field leads to the prediction playing tennis irrespectively of the actions performed in the video. In contrast, humans have a more complete understanding of actions and can recognize them without context. The best example of out-of-context actions are mimes, that people can typically recognize despite missing relevant objects and scenes. In this paper, we propose to benchmark action recognition methods in such absence of context and introduce a novel dataset, Mimetics, consisting of mimed actions for a subset of 50 classes from the Kinetics benchmark. Our experiments show that (a) state-of-the-art 3D convolutional neural networks obtain disappointing results on such videos, highlighting the lack of true understanding of the human actions and (b) models leveraging body language via human pose are less prone to context biases. In particular, we show that applying a shallow neural network with a single temporal convolution over body pose features transferred to the action recognition problem performs surprisingly well compared to 3D action recognition methods.

DOPE: Distillation Of Part Experts for whole-body 3D pose estimation in the wild

We introduce DOPE, the first method to detect and estimate whole-body 3D human poses, including bodies, hands and faces, in the wild. Achieving this level of details is key for a number of applications that require understanding the interactions of the people with each other or with the environment. The main challenge is the lack of in-the-wild data with labeled whole-body 3D poses. In previous work, training data has been annotated or generated for simpler tasks focusing on bodies, hands or faces separately. In this work, we propose to take advantage of these datasets to train independent experts for each part, namely a body, a hand and a face expert, and distill their knowledge into a single deep network designed for whole-body 2D-3D pose detection. In practice, given a training image with partial or no annotation, each part expert detects its subset of keypoints in 2D and 3D and the resulting estimations are combined to obtain whole-body pseudo ground-truth poses. A distillation loss encourages the whole-body predictions to mimic the experts' outputs. Our results show that this approach significantly outperforms the same whole-body model trained without distillation while staying close to the performance of the experts. Importantly, DOPE is computationally less demanding than the ensemble of experts and can achieve real-time performance.

Measuring Generalisation to Unseen Viewpoints, Articulations, Shapes and Objects for 3D Hand Pose Estimation under Hand-Object Interaction

We study how well different types of approaches generalise in the task of 3D hand pose estimation under single hand scenarios and hand-object interaction. We show that the accuracy of state-of-the-art methods can drop, and that they fail mostly on poses absent from the training set. Unfortunately, since the space of hand poses is highly dimensional, it is inherently not feasible to cover the whole space densely, despite recent efforts in collecting large-scale training datasets. This sampling problem is even more severe when hands are interacting with objects and/or inputs are RGB rather than depth images, as RGB images also vary with lighting conditions and colors. To address these issues, we designed a public challenge (HANDS'19) to evaluate the abilities of current 3D hand pose estimators (HPEs) to interpolate and extrapolate the poses of a training set. More exactly, HANDS'19 is designed (a) to evaluate the influence of both depth and color modalities on 3D hand pose estimation, under the presence or absence of objects; (b) to assess the generalisation abilities w.r.t. four main axes: shapes, articulations, viewpoints, and objects; (c) to explore the use of a synthetic hand model to fill the gaps of current datasets. Through the challenge, the overall accuracy has dramatically improved over the baseline, especially on extrapolation tasks, from 27mm to 13mm mean joint error. Our analyses highlight the impacts of: Data pre-processing, ensemble approaches, the use of a parametric 3D hand model (MANO), and different HPE methods/backbones.
