# RT-Pose: A 4D Radar Tensor-based 3D Human Pose Estimation and Localization Benchmark (ECCV 2024)

RT-Pose introduces a human pose estimation (HPE) dataset and benchmark by integrating a unique combination of calibrated radar ADC data, 4D radar tensors, stereo RGB images, and LiDAR point clouds. 
This integration marks a significant advancement in studying human pose analysis through multi-modality datasets.

## Dataset Details

### Dataset Description

<!-- Provide a longer summary of what this dataset is. -->
#### Sensors
The data collection hardware system comprises two RGB [cameras](https://www.flir.com/products/blackfly-s-usb3/?model=BFS-U3-16S2C-CS), a non-repetitive
horizontal scanning [LiDAR](https://www.livoxtech.com/3296f540ecf5458a8829e01cf429798e/assets/horizon/Livox%20Horizon%20user%20manual%20v1.0.pdf), and a cascade imaging [radar module](https://www.ti.com/tool/MMWCAS-RF-EVM).
