We propose a method SPGNet for 3D human pose estimation that mixes multi-dimensional re-projection into supervised learning. In this method, the 2D-to-3D-lifting network predicts the global position and coordinates of the 3D human pose. Then, we re-project the estimated 3D pose back to the 2D key points along with spatial adjustments. The loss functions compare the estimated 3D pose with the 3D pose ground truth, and re-projected 2D pose with the input 2D pose. In addition, we propose a kinematic constraint to restrict the predicted target with constant human bone length. Based on the estimation results for the dataset Human3.6M, our approach outperforms many state-of-the-art methods both qualitatively and quantitatively.

—Due to the rising complexity of the metaverse’s busi- ness logic and the low-latency nature of the metaverse, developers typically encounter the challenge of effectively reading, writing, and retrieving historical on-chain data in order to facilitate their functional implementations at scale. While it is true that accessing blockchain states is simple, more advanced real-world operations such as search, aggregation, and conditional filtering are not available when interacting directly with blockchain networks, particularly when dealing with requirements for on-chain event reflection. We offer Matrix Syncer, the ultimate middleware that bridges the data access gap between blockchains and end-user applications. Matrix Syncer is designed to facilitate the consoli-dation of on-chain information into a distributed data warehouse while also enabling customized on-chain state transformation for a scalable storage, access, and retrieval. It offers a unified layer for both on- and off-chain state, as well as a fast and flexible atomic query. Matrix Syncer is easily incorporated into any infrastructure to aggregate data from various blockchains concurrently, such as Ethereum and Flow. The system has been deployed to support several metaverse projects with a total value of more than $15 million USD.
