Introduction

This repo is official PyTorch implementation of Camera Distance-aware Top-down Approach for 3D Multi-person Pose Estimation from a Single RGB Image (ICCV 2019). It contains PoseNet part.

What this repo provides:

• PyTorch implementation of Camera Distance-aware Top-down Approach for 3D Multi-person Pose Estimation from a Single RGB Image (ICCV 2019).
• Flexible and simple code.
• Compatibility for most of the publicly available 2D and 3D, single and multi-person pose estimation datasets including Human3.6M, MPII, MS COCO 2017, MuCo-3DHP and MuPoTS-3D.
• Human pose estimation visualization code.

Dependencies

• PyTorch
• CUDA
• cuDNN
• Anaconda
• COCO API

This code is tested under Ubuntu 16.04, CUDA 9.0, cuDNN 7.1 environment with two NVIDIA 1080Ti GPUs.

Python 3.6.5 version with Anaconda 3 is used for development.

Quick demo

You can try quick demo at demo folder.

• Download the pre-trained PoseNet in here.
• Prepare input.jpg and pre-trained snapshot at demo folder.
• Set bbox_list at here.
• Set root_depth_list at here.
• Run python demo.py --gpu 0 --test_epoch 24 if you want to run on gpu 0.
• You can see output_pose_2d.jpg and new window that shows 3D pose.

Directory

Root

The ${POSE_ROOT} is described as below.

${POSE_ROOT}
|-- data
|-- demo
|-- common
|-- main
|-- tool
|-- vis
`-- output

• data contains data loading codes and soft links to images and annotations directories.
• demo contains demo codes.
• common contains kernel codes for 3d multi-person pose estimation system.
• main contains high-level codes for training or testing the network.
• tool contains data pre-processing codes. You don't have to run this code. I provide pre-processed data below.
• vis contains scripts for 3d visualization.
• output contains log, trained models, visualized outputs, and test result.

Data

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

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

|   |   |   |-- MuPoTS-3D.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.

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.
