AlphaPose

AlphaPose is an accurate multi-person pose estimator, which is the first open-source system that achieves 70+ mAP (75 mAP) on COCO dataset and 80+ mAP (82.1 mAP) on MPII dataset. To match poses that correspond to the same person across frames, we also provide an efficient online pose tracker called Pose Flow. It is the first open-source online pose tracker that achieves both 60+ mAP (66.5 mAP) and 50+ MOTA (58.3 MOTA) on PoseTrack Challenge dataset.

AlphaPose supports both Linux and Windows!

COCO 17 keypoints

Quick Start

Colab: We provide a colab example for your quick start.
Inference: Inference demo

./scripts/inference.sh ${CONFIG} ${CHECKPOINT} ${VIDEO_NAME} # ${OUTPUT_DIR}, optional

Inference SMPL (Download the SMPL model basicModel_neutral_lbs_10_207_0_v1.0.0.pkl from here and put it in model_files/).

./scripts/inference_3d.sh ./configs/smpl/256x192_adam_lr1e-3-res34_smpl_24_3d_base_2x_mix.yaml ${CHECKPOINT} ${VIDEO_NAME} # ${OUTPUT_DIR}, optional

For high level API, please refer to ./scripts/demo_api.py. To enable tracking, please refer to this page.

Training: Train from scratch

./scripts/train.sh ${CONFIG} ${EXP_ID}

Validation: Validate your model on MSCOCO val2017

./scripts/validate.sh ${CONFIG} ${CHECKPOINT}

Examples:

Demo using FastPose model.

./scripts/inference.sh configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res50_lr1e-3_1x.yaml pretrained_models/fast_res50_256x192.pth ${VIDEO_NAME}
#or
python scripts/demo_inference.py --cfg configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res50_lr1e-3_1x.yaml --checkpoint pretrained_models/fast_res50_256x192.pth --indir examples/demo/
#or if you want to use yolox-x as the detector
python scripts/demo_inference.py --detector yolox-x --cfg configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res50_lr1e-3_1x.yaml --checkpoint pretrained_models/fast_res50_256x192.pth --indir examples/demo/

Train FastPose on mscoco dataset.

./scripts/train.sh ./configs/coco/resnet/256x192_res50_lr1e-3_1x.yaml exp_fastpose

TODO

Multi-GPU/CPU inference
3D pose
add tracking flag
PyTorch C++ version
Add model trained on mixture dataset (Check the model zoo)
dense support
small box easy filter
