Abstract: 
This paper introduces a novel framework, i.e., RFPose-OT, to enable three-dimensional (3D) human pose estimation from radio frequency (RF) signals. Different from existing methods that predict human poses from RF signals at the signal level directly, we consider the structure difference between the RF signals and the human poses, propose a transformation of the RF signals to the pose domain at the feature level based on the optimal transport (OT) theory, and generate human poses from the transformed features. To evaluate RFPose-OT, we build a radio system and a multi-view camera system to acquire the RF signal data and the ground-truth human poses. The experimental results in a basic indoor environment, an occlusion indoor environment, and an outdoor environment demonstrate that RFPose-OT can predict 3D human poses with higher precision than state-of-the-art methods.

摘要:本文提出一个新颖的RFPose-OT模型框架以实现从无线射频信号中估计三维人体姿态。与现有直接从射频信号中预测人体姿态方法不同,本文考虑射频信号与人体姿态之间的结构特征差异,提出基于最优传输理论在特征空间上将射频信号变换到人体姿态域,再根据变换后的特征预测人体姿态。为评估RFPose-OT模型,本文构建了一个无线电系统和一个多视角相机系统获取无线信号数据以及真实的人体姿态标签。在室内基本环境、室内遮挡环境以及室外环境中的实验结果表明,RFPose-OT模型能精确地估计三维人体姿态,优于现有方法。
