GateAttentionPose: Enhancing Pose Estimation with Agent Attention and Improved Gated Convolutions
It provides a robust solution for pose estimation in applications like autonomous driving and virtual reality, but is incremental as it builds on an existing architecture.
The paper tackles pose estimation by enhancing UniRepLKNet with an Agent Attention module and Gate-Enhanced Feedforward Block, achieving superior or comparable results to state-of-the-art methods on COCO and MPII datasets with improved computational efficiency.
This paper introduces GateAttentionPose, an innovative approach that enhances the UniRepLKNet architecture for pose estimation tasks. We present two key contributions: the Agent Attention module and the Gate-Enhanced Feedforward Block (GEFB). The Agent Attention module replaces large kernel convolutions, significantly improving computational efficiency while preserving global context modeling. The GEFB augments feature extraction and processing capabilities, particularly in complex scenes. Extensive evaluations on COCO and MPII datasets demonstrate that GateAttentionPose outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods, including the original UniRepLKNet, achieving superior or comparable results with improved efficiency. Our approach offers a robust solution for pose estimation across diverse applications, including autonomous driving, human motion capture, and virtual reality.
