Comparison of Spatio-Temporal Hand Pose Denoising Models

Published in Universitat de Barcelona, 2022

Human pose estimation in video sequences presents unique challenges due to temporal context — noise in keypoint detection, incomplete skeletons, and temporal inconsistencies across frames. This thesis systematically compares spatio-temporal models for hand pose denoising, evaluating their effectiveness in refining noisy pose estimates from video data.

Key contributions:

  • Comprehensive comparison of denoising architectures for hand pose refinement
  • Analysis of temporal coherence methods for video-based pose estimation
  • Evaluation framework applicable to broader human pose estimation tasks

This work laid the foundation for my PhD research in Human-Robot-Object Interactions, where accurate hand and body pose understanding is critical for enabling robots to interpret and respond to human actions.
