Abstract

The present application relates to post estimation methods and apparatuses, and computer systems, wherein the method includes: extracting a feature in each body part of body parts of an object in an image to generate feature maps for the each body part, wherein the each body part corresponds to at least one part type; predicting part type scores respectively for features in each of the feature maps and establishing part type score maps based on the predicted part type scores; optimizing, for at least one point in each of the part type score maps, the established part type score maps based on a message related to an adjacent body part of a body part corresponding to the point; and determining an estimated position and an estimated part type of the each body part based on the optimized part type score maps to obtain an estimated pose of the object.
