Training state-of-the-art models for human pose estimation in videos requires datasets with annotations that are really hard and expensive to obtain.

… introduce PoseBERT, a transformer module that is fully trained on 3D Motion Capture (MoCap) data via masked modeling.

… can be plugged on top of any image-based model to transform it in a video-based model leveraging temporal information.

… showcase variants of PoseBERT with different inputs varying from 3D skeleton keypoints to rotations of a 3D parametric model for either the full body (SMPL) or just the hands (MANO).

… PoseBERT … task agnostic … can be applied to several tasks such as pose refinement, future pose prediction or motion completion without finetuning.

… adding PoseBERT on top of various state-of-the-art pose estimation methods consistently improves their performances, while its low computational cost allows us to use it in a real-time demo for smoothly animating a robotic hand via a webcam …
