clarification of scores variable in postprocessing function #53

Hi,

I am replicating your work and have one short doubt about the variable "scores" in postprocess function in pose.lua.

What is the meaning of this variable? I cannot fully understand by checking the code what is being stored here. I have seen it is a tensor of 20x1 with values between 0 and 1, could you please explain me a bit what is being stored here?

thanks in advance

scores tensor holds the confidence scores for each detected keypoint. You can think of it as the confidence scores in object detection.
