Query: AID: Pushing the Performance Boundary of Human Pose Estimation with
  Information Dropping Augmentation   Both appearance cue and constraint cue are vital for human pose estimation.
However, there is a tendency in most existing works to overfitting the former
and overlook the latter. In this paper, we propose Augmentation by Information
Dropping (AID) to verify and tackle this dilemma. Alone with AID as a
prerequisite for effectively exploiting its potential, we propose customized
training schedules, which are designed by analyzing the pattern of loss and
performance in training process from the perspective of information supplying.
In experiments, as a model-agnostic approach, AID promotes various
state-of-the-art methods in both bottom-up and top-down paradigms with
different input sizes, frameworks, backbones, training and testing sets. On
popular COCO human pose estimation test set, AID consistently boosts the
performance of different configurations by around 0.6 AP in top-down paradigm
and up to 1.5 AP in bottom-up paradigm. On more challenging CrowdPose dataset,
the improvement is more than 1.5 AP. As AID successfully pushes the performance
boundary of human pose estimation problem by considerable margin and sets a new
state-of-the-art, we hope AID to be a regular configuration for training human
pose estimators. The source code will be publicly available for further
research.
