Installation Instructions

• This code was developed under Linux (Debian wheezy, 64 bit) and was tested only in this environment.
• Build Caffe and Python bindings as described in the official documentation. You will have to disable CuDNN support and enable C++ 11.

  $ make all pycaffe

• Install Python Click package (required for demo only)

  $ pip install click

• Set PYTHONPATH variable

  $ export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`/python

Download Caffe Models

$ cd models/deepercut
$ ./download_models.sh

Run Demo

$ cd python/pose
$ python ./pose_demo.py image.png --out_name=prediction
