Researchers have introduced ProPose, a new benchmark and annotation protocol designed to improve 2D pose estimation for individuals with limb differences, including those using prosthetics or having residual limbs. The ProPose benchmark addresses the representation bias in existing datasets by unifying the topological representation of biological limbs, prostheses, and absences. To overcome the scarcity of real-world prosthetic images, a real-to-synthetic data expansion pipeline was developed. Additionally, the team proposes ProLoss, a novel objective function that enforces keypoint dependencies within a limb to prevent unrealistic predictions on mechanical structures, showing improvements in classifying long-tail prosthetic joints.
