Apparatus and method for evaluating reliability of human pose estimation algorithm

An apparatus for evaluating reliability of a human pose estimation algorithm for estimating a human three-dimensional (3D) pose based on a monocular image, comprising:

• a memory configured to store at least one instruction;
• and
• a processor configured to execute the at least one instruction stored in the memory,
• wherein the processor acquires an image obtained by capturing an image of a person rotating while repeating a preset specific motion at a preset cycle with a single camera, estimates the human body information from the image using the target human pose estimation algorithm for each frame, and evaluates the reliability of the target human pose estimation algorithm based on the body information estimated for each frame.

A method of evaluating reliability of a human pose estimation algorithm for estimating a human three-dimensional (3D) pose based on a monocular image, which is performed on a computing device including a processor, the method comprising:

• acquiring a first image obtained by capturing an image of a person rotating in a preset specific pose with a single camera;
• performing a process of estimating first body information of the person from the first image using a target human pose estimation algorithm for each frame;
• and
• evaluating reliability of the target human pose estimation algorithm based on the first body information estimated for each frame.
