     abstract = {One major challenge for 3D pose estimation from a single RGB image is the acquisition of sufficient
                 training data. In particular, collecting large amounts of training data that contain unconstrained
                 images and are annotated with accurate 3D poses is infeasible. We therefore propose to use two
                 independent training sources. The first source consists of images with annotated 2D poses and the
                 second source consists of accurate 3D motion capture data. To integrate both sources, we propose a
                 dual-source approach that combines 2D pose estimation with efficient and robust 3D pose retrieval.
                 In our experiments, we show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art results when both sources
                 are from the same dataset, but it also achieves competitive results when the motion capture data is
                 taken from a different dataset.},
