We present 3D-MuPPET, a framework to estimate and track 3D poses of up to 10 #pigeons at interactive speed. We show that 3D-MuPPET also works in natural environments without model fine-tuning on additional annotations.

Our paper Neural Puppeteer https://urs-waldmann.github.io/NePu/ was accepted in the Nactar Track at #GCPR23 https://www.dagm-gcpr.de/year/2023.

See you all in #Heidelberg.

Getting really jazzed for #SICB2023 as I'm working on my talk. I have no idea if anyone else is working with #PoseEstimation in a more eco-evo space, but I'm really excited by its potential for high throughput behavior analysis in a totally species-agnostic context. If anyone else playing with this technique is going to SICB this year, please hit me up so we can have lunch or chat!

[Apple] NeuMan: Neural Human Radiance Field from a Single Video

“We propose a novel framework to reconstruct the human and the scene that can be rendered with novel human poses and views from just a single in-the-wild video. Given a video captured by a moving camera, we train two NeRF models: a human NeRF model and a scene NeRF model."

Okay, #introduction time.

I'm in the middle of a weird disciplinary leap right now but #neuroethology might be the right name. I did my PhD at UT Austin on #EnergyBalance and social context as factors in decisions about whether to signal in singing mice, with a pretty standard #BehavioralEcology perspective; currently, I'm working with #SLEAP and #PoseEstimation on mouse models of neurodivergence in the Grissom lab at UMN, experimenting with #BigData large scale behavioral collection.
