For an object recognition task two standard, but disparate, approaches have developed in the field: the first is the part based approach for layout type problems, involving optimising an articulated pictorial structure; the second is the pixel based approach for image labelling involving optimising a random field graph defined on the image.

In this work, we combine these two models in a principled way in one optimisation problem inheriting the advantages of both of them. We apply this formulation to the problem of detecting humans and estimating their 2D pose in single images. In particular, handling cases of partial visibility where some limbs may be occluded, a person partially occluding another, self-occluding or where an image is truncated. Inference method on this joint model finds the set of instances of persons in an image, the location of their visible joints, and a pixel-wise instance and body part labelling.
