Evaluation of 3D Human Mesh Recovery performance on the Human3.6M dataset using Protocol 2 settings.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | 3D Human Mesh Recovery |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | Human3.6M (Protocol 2) |
| Metric | Reconstruction Error |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Lower is better |
| Results loaded | 29 of 29 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Reconstruction Error](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/3d-human-mesh-recovery-on-human3-6m-protocol-2.md?metric=Reconstruction%20Error>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [PA-MPJPE](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/3d-human-mesh-recovery-on-human3-6m-protocol-2.md?metric=PA-MPJPE>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Accel. Error](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/3d-human-mesh-recovery-on-human3-6m-protocol-2.md?metric=Accel.%20Error>): Lower is better; unit: SCALAR.
