The lack of annotated data and the complexity of state-of-the-art pose estimation approaches limit, however, the deployment of such techniques inside the OR. In this work, we propose to use knowledge distillation in a teacher/student framework to harness the knowledge present in a large-scale non-annotated dataset and in an accurate but complex multi-stage teacher network to train a lightweight network for joint 2D/3D pose estimation. The teacher network also exploits the unlabeled data to generate both hard and soft labels useful in improving the student predictions. The easily deployable network trained using this effective self-supervision strategy performs on par with the teacher network on \\emph{MVOR+}, an extension of the public MVOR dataset where all persons have been fully annotated, thus providing a viable solution for real-time 2D/3D human pose estimation in the OR.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.08354v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2007.08354v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"self-supervision-on-unlabelled-or-data-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/CAMMA-public/ORPose-color","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"3d-human-pose-estimation","task_name":"3D Human Pose Estimation"},{"task_slug":"3d-pose-estimation","task_name":"3D Pose Estimation"},{"task_slug":"knowledge-distillation","task_name":"Knowledge Distillation"},{"task_slug":"pose-estimation","task_name":"Pose Estimation"}],"methods":[{"method_slug":"knowledge-distillation","method_name":"Knowledge Distillation"}],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
