Monocular 3D human pose estimation poses significant challenges due to the inherent depth ambiguities that arise during the reprojection process from 2D to 3D. Conventional approaches that rely on estimating an over-fit projection matrix struggle to effectively address these challenges and often result in noisy outputs. Recent advancements in diffusion models have shown promise in incorporating structural priors to address reprojection ambiguities. However, there is still ample room for improvement as these methods often overlook the exploration of correlation between the 2D and 3D joint-level features. In this study, we propose a novel cross-channel embedding framework that aims to fully explore the correlation between joint-level features of 3D coordinates and their 2D projections. In addition, we introduce a context guidance mechanism to facilitate the propagation of joint graph attention across latent channels during the iterative diffusion process. To evaluate the effectiveness of our proposed method, we conduct experiments on two benchmark datasets, namely Human3.6M and MPI-INF-3DHP. Our results demonstrate a significant improvement in terms of reconstruction accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods. The code for our method will be made available online for further reference.

Parsing sketches via semantic segmentation is attractive but challenging, because (i) free-hand drawings are abstract with large variances in depicting objects due to different drawing styles and skills; (ii) distorting lines drawn on the touchpad make sketches more difficult to be recognized; (iii) the high-performance image segmentation via deep learning technologies needs enormous annotated sketch datasets during the training stage. In this paper, we propose a Sketch-target deep FCN Segmentation Network(SFSegNet) for automatic free-hand sketch segmentation, labeling each sketch in a single object with multiple parts. SFSegNet has an end-to-end network process between the input sketches and the segmentation results, composed of 2 parts: (i) a modified deep Fully Convolutional Network(FCN) using a reweighting strategy to ignore background pixels and classify which part each pixel belongs to; (ii) affine transform encoders that attempt to canonicalize the shaking strokes. We train our network with the dataset that consists of 10,000 annotated sketches, to find an extensively applicable model to segment stokes semantically in one ground truth. Extensive experiments are carried out and segmentation results show that our method outperforms other state-of-the-art networks.
