To address this issue, we implemented BlanketGen, a pipeline that augments videos with synthetic blanket occlusions. With this pipeline, we generated an augmented version of the pose estimation dataset 3DPW called BlanketGen-3DPW. We then used this new dataset to fine-tune a Deep Learning model to improve its performance in these scenarios with promising results.
