  In this work, we build upon existing methods for occlusion-aware 3D pose
detection in videos. We implement a two stage architecture that consists of the
stacked hourglass network to produce 2D pose predictions, which are then
inputted into a temporal convolutional network to produce 3D pose predictions.
To facilitate prediction on poses with occluded joints, we introduce an
intuitive generalization of the cylinder man model used to generate occlusion
labels. We find that the occlusion-aware network is able to achieve a
mean-per-joint-position error 5 mm less than our linear baseline model on the
Human3.6M dataset. Compared to our temporal convolutional network baseline, we
achieve a comparable mean-per-joint-position error of 0.1 mm less at reduced
computational cost.
