Synthetic-Child: An AIGC-Based Synthetic Data Pipeline for Privacy-Preserving Child Posture Estimation
Accurate child posture estimation is critical for AI-powered study companion devices, yet collecting large-scale annotated datasets of children is both expensive and ethically prohibitive due to privacy concerns. We present Synthetic-Child, an AIGC-based synthetic data pipeline that produces photorealistic child posture training images with ground-truth-projected keypoint annotations, requiring zero real child photographs. The pipeline comprises four stages: (1) a programmable 3D child body model (SMPL-X) in Blender generates diverse desk-study poses with IK-constrained anatomical plausibility and automatic COCO-format ground-truth export; (2) a custom PoseInjectorNode feeds 3D-derived skeletons into a dual ControlNet (pose + depth) conditioned on FLUX-1 Dev, synthesizing 12,000 photorealistic images across 10 posture categories with low annotation drift; (3) ViTPose-based confidence filtering and targeted augmentation remove generation failures and improve robustness; (4) RTMPose-M (13.6M params) is fine-tuned on the synthetic data and paired with geometric feature engineering and a lightweight MLP for posture classification, then quantized to INT8 for real-time edge deployment. On a real-child test set (n~300), the FP16 model achieves 71.2 AP -- a +12.5 AP improvement over the COCO-pretrained adult-data baseline at identical model capacity. After INT8 quantization the model retains 70.4 AP while running at 22 FPS on a 0.8-TOPS Rockchip RK3568 NPU. In a single-subject controlled comparison with a commercial posture corrector, our system achieves substantially higher recognition rates across most tested categories and responds ~1.8x faster on average. These results demonstrate that carefully designed AIGC pipelines can substantially reduce dependence on real child imagery while achieving deployment-ready accuracy, with potential applications to other privacy-sensitive domains.
