In … keypoint coordinates regression task. … existing approaches adopt complicated networks with a large number of parameters, leading to a heavy model with poor cost-effectiveness in practice.

… To overcome … develop a small yet discrimicative model called STair Network, which can be simply stacked towards an accurate multi-stage pose estimation system.

… composed of novel basic feature extraction blocks which focus on promoting feature diversity and obtaining rich local representations with fewer parameters

… introduce two mechanisms with negligible computational cost, focusing on feature fusion and replenish.

… 1-stage STair Network … higher accuracy than HRNet by 5.5% on COCO test dataset with 80% fewer parameters and 68% fewer GFLOPs.
