Hand Pose Estimation via Multiview Collaborative Self-Supervised Learning
3D hand pose estimation has made significant progress in recent years. However, the improvement is highly dependent on the emergence of large-scale annotated datasets. To alleviate the label-hungry limitation, we propose a multi-view collaborative self-supervised learning framework, HaMuCo, that estimates hand pose only with pseudo labels for training. We use a two-stage strategy to tackle the noisy label challenge and the multi-view “groupthink” problem. In the first stage, we estimate the 3D hand poses for each view independently. In the second stage, we employ a cross-view interaction network to capture the cross-view correlated features and use multi-view consistency loss to achieve collaborative learning among views. To further enhance the collaboration between single-view and multi-view, we fuse the results of all views to supervise the single-view network. To summarize, we introduce collaborative learning in two folds, the cross-view level and the multi- to single-view level. Extensive experiments show that our method can achieve state-of-the-art performance on multi-view self-supervised hand pose estimation. Moreover, ablation studies verify the effectiveness of each component. Results on multiple datasets further demonstrate the generalization ability of our network.
