is it possible to run caffe_rtpose on window system?

[wschoi89]

I compiled caffe window version on window environment but I don't know it is possible to compile caffe_rtpose. Could you give me some advises about this problem?

https://github.com/ZheC/Realtime_Multi-Person_Pose_Estimation/issues/5 may be helpful.

[zhangyunming]

i have build the caffe_rtpose success on windows7 vs2013,but the code of the rtpose.cpp in example is too heavy , i have not fixed it correctly.

[gineshidalgo99]

Sorry to hear that. We will release in around 1-1.5 months a new optimized version which also removes all Unix libraries, so you will be able to compile it on Windows.

[Zehaos]

is windows version in progress?

[gineshidalgo99]

The new version (no Unix dependencies other than Caffe) will be released within 1-2 days. Sorry for the inconveniences.

[hemecha]

Hi everyone! I can see some people have been able to compule the project caffe_rtpose in Windows. Could you please give some instructions what is needed? That would be very helpful.

Regarding to the new version of the project, coul you please confirm me if it is already released?

Thanks in advance!

[gineshidalgo99]

1. Windows: I am also interested if someone did it (the new version has no Windows dependencies other than Caffe itself).

2. New version: It has been released! https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose

[hemecha]

Thank you for the information. I am still trying to build it in Windows. Just to double check, once caffe is installed in windows, I should be able to build the new version of the project caffe_rtpose in windows without code changes, is it correct?

Thanks in advance. Kind regards,

Helen

[gineshidalgo99]

I did not try it, but yeah, it should run, we do not use any Unix instructions as we are doing here If you find any compiling errors when building it, please let us know and we will help you! If you are able to compile it, if you could send us the basic steps so we can add them to our doc we will highly appreciate it!

[hemecha]

Ok, no problem. Thank you very much for your help :)

Hi, I would like to ask you a question about the openpose examples. I am trying to run the example rtpose.cpp for a video, but it seems it only runs from a camera. However, the old version of the library, the demo can run from a camera or from a video. Could you tell me how I could run it from a video please?

Note: I have already pass the parameters --video /examples/media/video.avi

Code of the source rtpose.cpp from the new openpose library:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { // Initializing google logging (Caffe uses it for logging) google::InitGoogleLogging("opRealTimePoseDemo");

// Parsing command line flags
gflags::ParseCommandLineFlags(&argc, &argv, true);

// Running opRealTimePoseDemo
return opRealTimePoseDemo();

}

[hemecha]

It is possible to run a video from the demo. But, thanks anyway. Regards

[xiaosibai]

Can you give the data you used to train for the model? I find 189G mdb file from your URL but cannot find raw data.

Hi xiaosibai, I am not sure if the question is for me. But, in order to use the demo I haven´t trained any model. I have just download the model COCO from the url: http://posefs1.perception.cs.cmu.edu/Users/tsimon/Projects/coco/data/models/coco/pose_iter_440000.caffemodel

Hi hemecha, I have some questions. I read your comment to run openpose on window.

1. When you run it on window, do not use ubuntu?? Should i use Cmake to run it on window?

2. Do you only install CUDA, cudnn and OpenCV which are window version??

3. Can i build it using visual studio? not using python??

4. Should i need to install caffe on window??

5.. If you remember the procedure install and run openpose on window, please teach it for me.

Thank you to read my sentences and have a good day!

[hemecha]

Hi orientalh,

You can find below the answers to your question:

1. When you run it on window, do not use ubuntu?? Should i use Cmake to run it on window? No, I haven´t use Ubuntu, you could install Ubuntu in a virtualBox, if you want to run it from Windows.
2. Do you only install CUDA, cudnn and OpenCV which are window version?? Yes, you need all of them. The library Openpose depends on them. Also, you can find the instructions to install them in the url below : https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose/blob/master/doc/installation.md
3. Can i build it using visual studio? not using python?? Yes, you can Actually, I have built it from Visual studio.
4. Should i need to install caffe on window? Yes, you need it. In this version of openpose, you can use your own caffe library.
5. In order to run it from Windows, I have follow the instructions from the repo and the basic steps are:
   • Install CUDA, cudnn, caffe in Windows (instead Linux)
   • Create a project in visual studio and configure the project with the libraries dependences and libraries.
   • Configure CUDA properties in the project so Visual studio an compile the files .cu
   • Compile the library so the project will generate the openpose.lib.

With the authorization of the author, I will publish soon another branch with more details about how to set up the library in Windows. I will let you know once it is done.

Regards,

Helen

Hi hemecha, thank you to reply

I have some questions about your reply

1. When you run it on window, do not use ubuntu?? Should i use Cmake to run it on window? No, I haven´t use Ubuntu, you could install Ubuntu in a virtualBox, if you want to run it from Windows This sentence means that do i must use Ubuntu in a box, if i want to run it from Windows? Is there any methods do not use Ubuntu? If is possible how to run the examples such as Makefile.config.Ubuntu14_cuda_7.example.

2. Which version do you use?? OpenCV3 or OpenCV2?? https://github.com/CMU-Perceptual-Computing-Lab/openpose#installation-reinstallation-and-uninstallation In Output, there is this sentence. "However, the JSON format is only available after OpenCV 3.0. Hence, write_pose_json saves the people pose data using a custom JSON writer" So do i use OpenCV3.0??

3. Should i need to install caffe on window? Yes, you need it. In this version of openpose, you can use your own caffe library. I use CUDA8.0 and visual studio2015 then should i use caffe file on this(https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/windows) or install caffe on Windows using this(https://github.com/Microsoft/caffe)?? Also could i use the caffe library in this opensource?? Do not make my own trainning data.

4. My final goal is using openpose with openframeworks(http://openframeworks.cc/) which is based C++ and visual studio. You said "Compile the library so the project will generate the openpose.lib" If i get openpose.lib then can i use openpose(tracking joints) in openframeworks??

Thank you very much^^

[hemecha]

Hi orientalh,

I am still working in this project, so probably I won´t be able to answer all your questions, but I will try.

Question 1. You don´t need Ubuntu, you can use visual studio instead. I recommend you use Visual studio 2015, because the library has enabled the c++11 features. So, as far as I know visual studio 2015 supports c++11. Lower version may not work very well.

Question 2. I use OpenCV3.10. Actually if you follow the instructions to install caffe in Windows. The script download all the dependencies it needs to install Caffe in Windows.

Question 3. Yes you need to install Windows in Visual Studio 2015,because Visual Studio 2013 doesn´t support all c++11 features, so it will give you issues during the compilation of the library. (https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/windows).

Question 4. I don´t see why you cannot do that. You can also modify the library to meet your requirements. But, I think the authors of the library can answer you better this question.

I hope it helps.

Regards.

[gineshidalgo99]

Hi @orientalh, we are working with hemecha in order to release a Windows version soon. You are free to either try to implement it yourself too or you might simply wait for us to release a first version, up to your priorities! Thanks!

[orientalh]

Hi hemecha and gineshidalgo99 Thanks to reply and i am happy to hear that releasing a window version soon. But i should use it this week, so i try to use this on window.

Actually i install visual studio2015, opencv3.1, cuda8, cudnn5 and caffe on window10. but i do not know how to install openpose and use openpose examples on window.

At first i just want to run demo with webcam on window. In the doc the instruction is "/build/examples/openpose/openpose.bin."

How can i run this demo on window?? Can you give me some guidelines?

Thank you, and have a nice day^^

[helen-medina]

Hi,

In my case, I follow these steps:

• Create an empty project in visual studio and add all the sources and headers files.
• Enable Cuda to compile .cu files
• Generate the openpose.lib
• Make sure you enable all the flags needed (you can get it from caffe library and openpose (Linux script))

For the examples (rtpose):

• Add new empty project
• Add the source file .rtpose
• Set up the linker (you can use the same libraries from Caffe) and the include files.

[AntonN11]

Hi guys,

I was able to install and run Caffe on Windows. I'm now trying compile and run OpenPose. I'm using CUDA 8 in VS2015 on Windows 10. When compiling, I get errors with nmsBase.cu and poseRenderGpu.cu. I updated to the latest version of OpenPose, but this didn't work. Thanks for the help.

[AntonN11]

I declared M_PI = 3.1416 and casted the other variables. I'm now trying to fix the new 159 errors I get. I also had to #define USE_CAFFE.

[gineshidalgo99]

I am currently refining and preparing a first release for OpenPose on Windows. I hope to release it by this week. I want to only force people to install as few things as needed. Thank you for using OpenPose!

[AntonN11]

Alright, thank you for the quick reply. I'm still trying to make it work.

[helen-medina]

Hi,

I had that issue as well. I fixed adding:

define _USE_MATH_DEFINES

include

I worked for me.

Regards,

Helen

Hi Ginés,

I can see Openpose has different parameters to configure it. Could you tell me please if there is an specific parameter to improve the optimization of the program?

Thanks in advance.

[AntonN11]

I got it to compile and run in VS2015, Release, x64 and Cuda8 . The thing is -> I get an access violation :

Exactly here :

[helen-medina]

Hi,

You could change "unsigned char" for "unsigned int". It worked for me. Not sure why "unsgined char" raise the exception, it should work. If someone knows it, please let me know.

If you apply the change above, probably you will need to make some changes in order to compile the library. However, they are minor changes, only change "unsigned char" for "unsigned int".

const std::map<unsigned int, std::string> POSE_COCO_BODY_PARTS {...} const std::map<unsigned int, std::string> POSE_MPI_BODY_PARTS{ ...} ...

Regards.

[AntonN11]

Good. Thank you for your help Helen, I'll try that.

[AntonN11]

I'm still having an access violation error : I'll try to run a Debug version.

[orientalh]

Hi, helen-medina Thank to reply for using visual studio to use OpenPose.

1. I make a new project using visual studio and add source and header files like the picture.

And i build the solution i have many errors. How can i solve it.

I solves errors because of cuda. But i already have errors about caffe. How do you install caffe?? How to build "install_caffe.sh" on visual studio??

2. I do not understand the sentence "Make sure you enable all the flags needed (you can get it from caffe library and openpose (Linux script))"

Is it mean using Cmake?? Or what should i do for it?

3. Do you use Cmake? for build Makefile.config.Ubuntu14_cuda_7.example??

Have a good day!

[AntonN11]

I'm now able to run in Debug mode. For some reason, the "POSE_COCO_BODY_PARTS" and "POSE_MPI_BODY_PARTS" variables are empty :(...

[orientalh]

Hi, I have some questions to build OpenPose on windows using visual studio.

I made a new project and add source&header code. Then i made environment to use .cu files.

I also install caffe like this Download it from here (https://github.com/Microsoft/caffe) and build it. Then i had caffe.lib, caffe.exe, etc. like figure

I copy these files and add them in the '3rdparty' folder. and Link .lib and .dll address on visual studio.

Question1. Is this way is correct to install caffe??

Then i compile openpose.cpp, I had a lot of errors. like figure

Question2. How solve the errors?? I guess these errors are because install caffe is wrong or i did not install openpose.

Please give me some tips to use OpenPose. Thank you!

[helen-medina]

Hi AntonN11,

That variables shouldn't be empty, because they are initialized. Probably, that issue is related with the debug mode (not sure). However, if you are in a hurry you could comment out the variable POSE_BODY_PART_MAPPING and wherever it is used, you can replace it with the model pose defined for coco or MPI.

I hope it helps.

[helen-medina]

Hi orientalh, Caffe seems to be installed correclty. The errors you have it seems they are related because caffe flag is not enabled. So you need to add to the project the flag USE_CAFFE. You will find these flag in the script Makefile.config. If you still have issues with cuda, I suggest to check the following steps:

• Build the solution in release mode (as I have found some issues in debug mode)
• Enable Cuda from project ->build customization
• Once Cuda is enable add the .cu files
• Also, add othe flags to the project ->properties->preprocessor: USE_CUDNN USE_OPENCV USE_CAFFE
• Check if you have included the paths for the includ files for: caffe, cuda, opencv and openpose. I hope it helps.

[orientalh]

Hi, AntonN11

I had a same access violation error.

I change "char" -> "int" BUT i don't understand "the "POSE_COCO_BODY_PARTS" and "POSE_MPI_BODY_PARTS" variables are empty".

How do you solve this error???

[helen-medina]

Hi everyone,

I have just verified in another machine, that as you have said before the variables are empty. It seems they are empty because for some reason the system is using POSE_BODY_PART_MAPPING, before defining POSE_COCO_BODY_PARTS. In my old environment it seems to work (I don´t know how). When building the project I did some changes, but I can´t find out which one fix the issue. However, check the order of the headers, the building options of visual studio.

If I am able to fi the issue I will let you know.

Regards.

[AntonN11]

Here is how I got "fixed" the empty variable :

I'm now stuck with an "vector index out of range" with the 4 threads. I'll try and run with a single thread. Keep giving inputs people, we'll get there!

[AntonN11]

And thank you for your help helen-medina, I appreciate it.

[AntonN11]

I have passed the thread/queue issue. I had to "+ 1" over here :

Otherwise, the "usedQueueIds" was read out of bounds.

Afterwards, I needed to find and copy the "models" folder :

I also added this file "pose_iter_440000.caffemodel" in "models/pose/coco".

In the end, the app crashes with this error : "nError:\nCuda check failed (7 vs. 0): too many resources requested for launch\n\nComing from:\n- C:/.../openpose-master/src/openpose/pose/poseRenderGpu.cu:op::renderPoseGpu():440\n- C:/.../openpose-maste... std::basic_string<char,std::char_traits,std::allocator >

[helen-medina]

That error could be caused because the card graphic is not supported by the Cudann. In order to run Cudann, you need at least compute capabality 3.0. You can check here below the minimum requirements:

https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn In the below link you can check your compute capability of your machine https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus#collapse4

[AntonN11]

👍 Ok, so it's a parameter with Cuda I guess. Here is what's installed on my computer :

It's a 5.2 "compute capacity" card. Some parameter is not set right.

[AntonN11]

Maybe a bad Caffe compilation, Cuda configuration flag...

[helen-medina]

You configuration seems correct. I had a similar issue related with caffe, but it wasn´t any flag. The caffe last version was failing, so I took the version released 1.0.

You could try that. When compiling caffe, enable Cuda compilation : project ->build customizations-> enable cuda and built it.

The rest of flag should be OK. I hope it helps.

[AntonN11]

Good to know. I'm using this Caffe version : https://github.com/BVLC/caffe/tree/windows. I believe it's a 1.0.0 version of Caffe. I have updated a week ago when compiling a Debug version. The thing is, I'm compiling using the provided script and these parameters :

And here is what I get when executing this command file :

I guess I'll try to compile a Caffe version using VS2015 directly (with Cuda compilation). See if it helps.

[helen-medina]

In my case I didn´t used Ninja. I used Visual studio 2015 and miniconda (I had issues with python). The rest of the parameters seems correct. I upload a branch for windows , it is not finished because it had some issues, but some of them has been fixed for you (Thank you very much for that).

In this link below you can check the parameters I used to build caffe, but your seems correct as well: https://github.com/helen-medina/openpose/tree/windows/3rdparty/caffe/caffe-windows/scripts

Regards.

[AntonN11]

Perfect, I'll try that. Thank you.

[orientalh]

Thank you AntonN11 and helen-medina

I solve empty variable error because of yours!

However i had another error.

I search error about ucrtbase.dll, however i do not know why it happens...

If do you have this error and solve. Please teach me!

One more time thanks very much!!

[AntonN11]

It seems like it's the same problem as I'm stuck at, but in Release mode.
