Abstract

In this paper we describe a probabilistic method for estimating the position of an object along with its covariance matrix using neural networks. Our method is designed to be robust to outliers, have bounded gradients with respect to the network outputs, among other desirable properties. To achieve this we introduce a novel probability distribution inspired by the Huber loss. We also introduce a new way to parameterize positive definite matrices to ensure invariance to the choice of orientation for the coordinate system we regress over. We evaluate our method on popular body pose and facial landmark datasets and get performance on par or exceeding the performance of non-heatmap methods. Our code is available at this http URL
