Description
Summary:Estimating human posture in crowded smart teaching environments is a fundamental technical challenge for measuring learners’ engagement levels. This work presents a model for detecting critical points in human posture using ECAv2-HRNet in crowded situations. The paper introduces a method called ECAv2Net, which combines a channel feature reinforcement method with the ECANet attention mechanism network, this innovation improves the performance of the network. Additionally, ECAv2Net is integrated into the high-resolution network HRNet to create ECAv2-HRNet. This fusion allows for the incorporation of more useful feature information without increasing the model parameters. The paper also presents a human posture dataset called GUET CLASS PICTURE, which is designed for dense scenes. The experimental results when using this dataset, as well as a public dataset, demonstrate the superior performance of the human posture estimation model based on ECAv2-HRNet proposed in this paper.
