I am interested in obtaining 3D keypoints not provided by surreal, via SMPL model. Let's say top of the head. I have learned that to convert SMPL pose params to 3D keypoints, I will need to convert pose params given in rotation matrices format to axis-angle representation, but will this not only give me keypoints that I already have? It won't provide me with the top of the head.
Once I have the 3D keypoint, I can get 2D keypoint by projecting 3D keypoints onto image.
Please let me know how to figure out extracting missing 3D keypoints from SMPL
