Introduction

Multi Person PoseEstimation By PyTorch

Results

Require

Pytorch

Installation

git submodule init && git submodule update

Demo

Download converted pytorch model.
Compile the C++ postprocessing: cd lib/pafprocess; sh make.sh
python demo/picture_demo.py to run the picture demo.
python demo/web_demo.py to run the web demo.

Evalute

python evaluate/evaluation.py to evaluate the model on coco val2017 dataset.
It should have mAP 0.653 for the rtpose, previous rtpose have mAP 0.577 because we do left and right flip for heatmap and PAF for the evaluation. c

Development environment

The code is developed using python 3.6 on Ubuntu 18.04. NVIDIA GPUs are needed. The code is developed and tested using 4 1080ti GPU cards. Other platforms or GPU cards are not fully tested.

Quick start

1. Preparation

1.1 Prepare the dataset

cd training; bash getData.sh to obtain the COCO 2017 images in /data/root/coco/images/, keypoints annotations in /data/root/coco/annotations/, make them look like this:


${DATA_ROOT}
|-- coco
|-- annotations
    |-- person_keypoints_train2017.json
    |-- person_keypoints_val2017.json
|-- images
    |-- train2017
        |-- 000000000009.jpg
        |-- 000000000025.jpg
        |-- 000000000030.jpg
        |-- ... 
    |-- val2017
