Human pose estimation remains a multifaceted challenge in computer vision, pivotal across diverse domains such as behavior recognition, human-computer interaction, and pedestrian tracking. This paper proposes an improved method based on the spatial-temporal graph convolution net-work (UGCN) to address the issue of missing human posture skeleton sequences in single-view videos. We present the improved UGCN, which allows the network to process 3D human pose data and improves the 3D human pose skeleton sequence, thereby resolving the occlusion issue.

Quantization is a widely used technique to compress and accelerate deep neural networks. However, conventional quantization methods use the same bit-width for all (or most of) the layers, which often suffer significant accuracy degradation in the ultra-low precision regime and ignore the fact that emergent hardware accelerators begin to support mixed-precision computation. Consequently, we present a novel and principled framework to solve the mixed-precision quantization problem in this paper. Briefly speaking, we first formulate the mixed-precision quantization as a discrete constrained optimization problem. Then, to make the optimization tractable, we approximate the objective function with second-order Taylor expansion and propose an efficient approach to compute its Hessian matrix. Finally, based on the above simplification, we show that the original problem can be reformulated as a Multiple-Choice Knapsack Problem (MCKP) and propose a greedy search algorithm to solve it efficiently. Compared with existing mixed-precision quantization works, our method is derived in a principled way and much more computationally efficient. Moreover, extensive experiments conducted on the ImageNet dataset and various kinds of network architectures also demonstrate its superiority over existing uniform and mixed-precision quantization approaches.
