In this work, we establish dense correspondences between RGB image and a surface-based representation of the human body, a task we refer to as dense human pose estimation. We first gather dense correspondences for 50K persons appearing in the COCO dataset by introducing an efficient annotation pipeline. We then use our dataset to train CNN-based systems that deliver dense correspondence ’in the wild’, namely in the presence of background, occlusions and scale variations. We improve our training set’s effectiveness by training an ’inpainting’ network that can fill in missing groundtruth values and report clear improvements with respect to the best results that would be achievable in the past. We experiment with fully-convolutional networks and region-based models and observe a superiority of the latter; we further improve accuracy through cascading, obtaining a system that delivers highly0accurate results in real time.
