A Comprehensive Survey on Single-Person Pose Estimation in Social Robotics.

With the development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standard, social robotics gradually enter into daily lives of individuals. Human–robot interaction is the basic function of social robotics, and how to achieve better experience of human–robot interaction is an important issue in the field of social robotics. Single-person pose estimation is the core technology for human–robot interaction in social robots. Benefiting from the development of deep learning, single-person pose estimation has made great progress. This paper reviews the development of single-person pose estimation from four aspects: data augmentation, the evolution of SPPE model, learning target and post-processing. Besides, we give the commonly used datasets and evaluation metrics. Finally, the problems of SPPE are discussed and the future research trends are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
