Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture for modifying a machine learning model are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a supervised branch inserter to insert a supervised branch into a machine learning model at an identified location, a first cluster generator to generate a first cluster of the inserted supervised branch using a first clustering technique, a second cluster generator to generate a second cluster of the inserted supervised branch using a second clustering technique, the second clustering technique different from the first clustering technique, a cluster joiner to join the first cluster and the second cluster to form a clustering block, the clustering block appended to an end of the supervised branch, and a propagation strategy executor to execute a propagation training strategy to modify a parameter of the machine learning model.

Methods and apparatus for modifying a machine learning model

Apparatus and methods for three-dimensional pose estimation are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes an image synchronizer to synchronize a first image generated by a first image capture device and a second image generated by a second image capture device, the first image and the second image including a subject; a two-dimensional pose detector to predict first positions of keypoints of the subject based on the first image and by executing a first neural network model to generate first two-dimensional data and predict second positions of the keypoints based on the second image and by executing the first neural network model to generate second two-dimensional data; and a three-dimensional pose calculator to generate a three-dimensional graphical model representing a pose of the subject in the first image and the second image based on the first two-dimensional data, the second two-dimensional data, and by executing a second neural network model.

Apparatus and methods for three-dimensional pose estimation

Techniques are disclosed for providing improved pose tracking of a subject using a 2D camera and generating a 3D image that recreates the pose of the subject. A 3D skeleton map is estimated from a 2D skeleton map of the subject using, for example, a neural network. A template 3D skeleton map is accessed or generated having bone segments that have lengths set using, for instance, anthropometry statistics based on a given height of the template 3D skeleton map. An improved 3D skeleton map is then produced by at least retargeting one or more of the plurality of bone segments of the estimated 3D skeleton map to more closely match the corresponding template bone segments of the template 3D skeleton map. The improved 3D skeleton map can then be animated in various ways (e.g., using various skins or graphics) to track corresponding movements of the subject.
