New protocol reveals OKS-mAP blind spots in 2D pose estimation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new evaluation protocol has been developed to address the limitations of the OKS-mAP metric in 2D human pose estimation. This protocol introduces three modules to assess occlusion, joint-angle error, and temporal stability, revealing that aggregate OKS-mAP often overestimates performance in occluded scenarios. The new method highlights differences in model performance, particularly in occluded joints, and demonstrates that temporal smoothing can reduce jump rates without significantly impacting accuracy.

IMPACT Introduces a more robust evaluation framework for 2D pose estimation models, potentially guiding future research and development.

    Uncovering the Blind Spots of OKS-mAP: A Unified Protocol for Occlusion, Joint-Angle, and Temporal Evaluation of 2D Pose Estimators

    arXiv:2611.12911v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The dominant metric for 2D human pose estimation, OKS-mAP, has three blind spots: it does not distinguish visible from occluded keypoints, does not measure joint-angle error, and is silent on the temporal stability of tracking-free …
