Cross-Model Distillation of a Human-Pose Foundation Model from Unannotated Infant Video for Markerless 3D Pose Estimation

The paper presents a method for improving markerless 3D pose estimation in infants by cross‑model distillation. Using unannotated infant video, a frozen Sapiens 2 pose model provides dense pseudo‑labels that guide fine‑tuning of the SAM 3D Body model. On a held‑out dataset of eleven infants, the fine‑tuned model shows significant gains in 2D keypoint accuracy and 3D joint error compared to the original SAM 3D Body model.
