Abstract

An example apparatus for estimating poses includes a person estimator to estimate a number of people based on a significant head count of received refined part detections. The apparatus includes a detection clusterer to cluster the refined part detections based on the estimated number of people to generate clustered part detections. The apparatus includes a candidate selector to select candidate person clusters for each clustered part detection based on proximity to the clustered part detection. The apparatus includes a sequential assigner to calculate a cluster affinity score for each combination of candidate person cluster and clustered part detection, and greedily sequentially assign each clustered part detection to a candidate person cluster based on the cluster affinity score to generate person clusters. The apparatus includes a pose generator to generate a pose for each person cluster.
