So great to see more work on pose research! My ultimate dream is to have a tool where I can give it a cartoon character and a set of pose photos, and have the tool pose the character in those poses. This feels one step closer to that.
You might check out the technical paper, the background section lists some relevant related works on non-photorealistic pose estimation.
One work that seems particularly pertinent to your use case is:
