This document summarizes several papers related to human detection and pose estimation using computer vision techniques. It describes using Scale-Invariant Keypoints and HOG features with SVMs for detection. It also discusses using joint HOG features and Mean Shift clustering for real-time human detection in range images. Finally, it mentions two papers that achieved state-of-the-art results on COCO datasets for multi-person pose estimation using part affinity fields and a bottom-up part-based model.
