Pedestrian POSE estimation using multi-branched deep learning pose net

In human activity-recognition scenarios, including head and entire body pose and orientations, recognizing the pose and direction of a pedestrian is considered a complex problem. A person may be traveling in one sideway while focusing his attention on another side. It is occasionally desirable to analyze such orientation estimates using computer-vision tools for automated analysis of pedestrian behavior and intention. This article uses a deep-learning method to demonstrate the pedestrian full-body pose estimation approach. A deep-learning-based pre-trained supervised model multi-branched deep learning pose net (MBDLP-Net) is proposed for estimation and classification. For full-body pose and orientation estimation, three independent datasets, an extensive dataset for body orientation (BDBO), PKU-Reid, and TUD Multiview Pedestrians, are used. Independently, the proposed technique is trained on dataset CIFAR-100 with 100 classes. The proposed approach is meticulously tested using publicly accessible BDBO, PKU-Reid, and TUD datasets. The results show that the mean accuracy for full-body pose estimation with BDBO and PKU-Reid is 0.95%, and with TUD multiview pedestrians is 0.97%. The performance results show that the proposed technique efficiently distinguishes full-body poses and orientations in various configurations. The efficacy of the provided approach is compared with existing pretrained, robust, and state-of-the-art methodologies, providing a comprehensive understanding of its advantages.
