Human pose estimation in low-light conditions is vital for applications such as surveillance and autonomous systems, yet the severe visual distortions hinder both manual annotation and estimation precision. Existing approaches typically rely on additional reference information to mitigate these issues, however, customized data collection equipment poses limitations on their scalability. To alleviate the issue, we construct a Low-Light Images and Poses (LLIP) dataset, which includes only paired low-light images and pose annotations obtained using off-the-shelf motion capture devices. Furthermore, we propose a Multi-grained High-frequency Feature Consistency Learning framework (MHFCL), which does not rely on additional reference information. MHFCL employs a Retinex-inspired restoration stream to recover high-frequency details and integrates them into pose estimation using a multi-grained consistency mechanism. Experiments demonstrate that our approach achieves a new benchmark in low-light pose estimation, while maintaining competitive performance in well-lit conditions.

Learning by Erasing: Conditional Entropy Based Transferable Out-of-Distribution Detection

Detecting OOD inputs is crucial to deploy machine learning models to the real world safely. However, existing OOD detection methods require an in-distribution (ID) dataset to retrain the models. In this paper, we propose a Deep Generative Models (DGMs) based transferable OOD detection that does not require retraining on the new ID dataset. We first establish and substantiate two hypotheses on DGMs: DGMs exhibit a predisposition towards acquiring low-level features, in preference to semantic information; the lower bound of DGM's log-likelihoods is tied to the conditional entropy between the model input and target output. Drawing on the aforementioned hypotheses, we present an innovative image-erasing strategy, which is designed to create distinct conditional entropy distributions for each individual ID dataset. By training a DGM on a complex dataset with the proposed image-erasing strategy, the DGM could capture the discrepancy of conditional entropy distribution for varying ID datasets, without re-training. We validate the proposed method on the five datasets and show that, without retraining, our method achieves comparable performance to the state-of-the-art group-based OOD detection methods. The project codes will be open-sourced on our project website.
