Data

You need to follow directory structure of the data as below.

${POSE_ROOT}
|-- data
|   |-- Human36M
|   |   |-- bbox_root
|   |   |   |-- bbox_root_human36m_output.json

• Download Human3.6M parsed data [data]
• Download MPII parsed data [images][annotations]
• Download MuCo parsed and composited data [data]
• Download MuPoTS parsed data [images][annotations]
• All annotation files follow MS COCO format.
• If you want to add your own dataset, you have to convert it to MS COCO format.

To download multiple files from Google drive without compressing them, try this. If you have a problem with 'Download limit' problem when tried to download dataset from google drive link, please try this trick.

* Go the shared folder, which contains files you want to copy to your drive  
* Select all the files you want to copy  
* In the upper right corner click on three vertical dots and select “make a copy”  
* Then, the file is copied to your personal google drive account. You can download it from your personal account.  

Output

You need to follow the directory structure of the output folder as below.

${POSE_ROOT}
|-- output
|-- |-- log
|-- |-- model_dump
|-- |-- result
`-- |-- vis

• Creating output folder as soft link form is recommended instead of folder form because it would take large storage capacity.
• log folder contains training log file.
• model_dump folder contains saved checkpoints for each epoch.
• result folder contains final estimation files generated in the testing stage.
• vis folder contains visualized results.

3D visualization

• Run $DB_NAME_img_name.py to get image file names in .txt format.
• Place your test result files (preds_2d_kpt_$DB_NAME.mat, preds_3d_kpt_$DB_NAME.mat) in single or multi folder.
• Run draw_3Dpose_$DB_NAME.m

Running 3DMPPE_POSENET

Start

• In the main/config.py, you can change settings of the model including dataset to use, network backbone, and input size and so on.

Train

In the main folder, run

python train.py --gpu 0-1

to train the network on the GPU 0,1.

If you want to continue experiment, run

python train.py --gpu 0-1 --continue

--gpu 0,1 can be used instead of --gpu 0-1.

Test

Place trained model at the output/model_dump/.

In the main folder, run

python test.py --gpu 0-1 --test_epoch 20

to test the network on the GPU 0,1 with 20th epoch trained model. --gpu 0,1 can be used instead of --gpu 0-1.

Results

Here I report the performance of the PoseNet.

• Download pre-trained models of the PoseNetNet in here
• Bounding boxs (from DetectNet) and root joint coordintates (from RootNet) of Human3.6M, MSCOCO, and MuPoTS-3D dataset in here.

Human3.6M dataset using protocol 1

For the evaluation, you can run test.py or there are evaluation codes in Human36M.

Human3.6M dataset using protocol 2

For the evaluation, you can run test.py or there are evaluation codes in Human36M.

MuPoTS-3D dataset

For the evaluation, run test.py. After that, move data/MuPoTS/mpii_mupots_multiperson_eval.m in data/MuPoTS/data. Also, move the test result files (preds_2d_kpt_mupots.mat and preds_3d_kpt_mupots.mat) in data/MuPoTS/data. Then run mpii_mupots_multiperson_eval.m with your evaluation mode arguments.

MSCOCO dataset

We additionally provide estimated 3D human root coordinates in on the MSCOCO dataset. The coordinates are in 3D camera coordinate system, and focal lengths are set to 1500mm for both x and y axis. You can change focal length and corresponding distance using equation 2 or equation in supplementarial material of my paper.
