Learning to estimate a 3D body pose, and likewise the pose of any type of object, from a single 2D image is of great interest for many practical graphics applications and generally relies on neural networks that have been trained with sample data which annotates (labels) each sample 2D image with a known 3D pose. Requiring this labeled training data however has various drawbacks, including for example that traditionally used training data sets lack diversity and therefore limit the extent to which neural networks are able to estimate 3D pose. Expanding these training data sets is also difficult since it requires manually provided annotations for 2D images, which is time consuming and prone to errors. The present disclosure overcomes these and other limitations of existing techniques by providing a model that is trained from unlabeled multi-view data for use in 3D pose estimation.
