## General Information

DensePose annotations are typically stored in JSON files. Their
structure follows the [COCO Data Format](https://cocodataset.org/#format-data),
the basic data structure is outlined below:

```
{
    "info": info,
    "images": [image],
    "annotations": [annotation],
    "licenses": [license],
}

info{
    "year": int,
    "version": str,
    "description": str,
    "contributor": str,
    "url": str,
    "date_created": datetime,
}

image{
    "id": int,
    "width": int,
    "height": int,
    "file_name": str,
    "license": int,
    "flickr_url": str,
    "coco_url": str,
    "date_captured": datetime,
}

license{
    "id": int, "name": str, "url": str,
}
```

DensePose annotations can be of two types:
*chart-based annotations* or *continuous surface embeddings annotations*.
We give more details on each of the two annotation types below.

### Chart-based Annotations

These annotations assume a single 3D model which corresponds to
all the instances in a given dataset.
3D model is assumed to be split into *charts*. Each chart has its own
2D parametrization through inner coordinates `U` and `V`, typically
taking values in `[0, 1]`.

Chart-based annotations consist of *point-based annotations* and
*segmentation annotations*. Point-based annotations specify, for a given
image point, which model part it belongs to and what are its coordinates
in the corresponding chart. Segmentation annotations specify regions
in an image that are occupied by a given part. In some cases, charts
associated with point annotations are more detailed than the ones
associated with segmentation annotations. In this case we distinguish
*fine segmentation* (associated with points) and *coarse segmentation*
(associated with masks).

**Point-based annotations**:

`dp_x` and `dp_y`:  image coordinates of the annotated points along
the horizontal and vertical axes respectively. The coordinates are defined
with respect to the top-left corner of the annotated bounding box and are
normalized assuming the bounding box size to be `256x256`;

`dp_I`: for each point specifies the index of the fine segmentation chart
it belongs to;

`dp_U` and `dp_V`: point coordinates on the corresponding chart.
Each fine segmentation part has its own parametrization in terms of chart
coordinates.

**Segmentation annotations**:

`dp_masks`: RLE encoded dense masks (`dict` containing keys `counts` and `size`).
The masks are typically of size `256x256`, they define segmentation within the
bounding box.

### Continuous Surface Embeddings Annotations

Continuous surface embeddings annotations also consist of *point-based annotations*
and *segmentation annotations*. Point-based annotations establish correspondence
between image points and 3D model vertices. Segmentation annotations specify
foreground regions for a given instane.

**Point-based annotations**:

`dp_x` and `dp_y` specify image point coordinates the same way as for chart-based
annotations;

`dp_vertex` gives indices of 3D model vertices, which the annotated image points
correspond to;

`ref_model` specifies 3D model name.

**Segmentation annotations**:

Segmentations can either be given by `dp_masks` field or by `segmentation` field.

`dp_masks`: RLE encoded dense masks (`dict` containing keys `counts` and `size`).
The masks are typically of size `256x256`, they define segmentation within the
bounding box.

`segmentation`: polygon-based masks stored as a 2D list
`[[x1 y1 x2 y2...],[x1 y1 ...],...]` of polygon vertex coordinates in a given
image.

</p>

DensePose COCO dataset contains about 50K annotated persons on images from the
[COCO dataset](https://cocodataset.org/#home)
The images are available for download from the
[COCO Dataset download page](https://cocodataset.org/#download):
[train2014](http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2014.zip),

### Chart-based Annotations

Chart-based DensePose COCO annotations are available for the instances of category
`person` and correspond to the model shown in Figure 2.
They include `dp_x`, `dp_y`, `dp_I`, `dp_U` and `dp_V` fields for annotated points
(~100 points per annotated instance) and `dp_masks` field, which encodes
coarse segmentation into 14 parts in the following order:
`Torso`, `Right Hand`, `Left Hand`, `Left Foot`, `Right Foot`,
`Upper Leg Right`, `Upper Leg Left`, `Lower Leg Right`, `Lower Leg Left`,
`Upper Arm Left`, `Upper Arm Right`, `Lower Arm Left`, `Lower Arm Right`,
`Head`.

`person` and correspond to the model shown in Figure 2.
They include `dp_x`, `dp_y`, `dp_I`, `dp_U` and `dp_V` fields for annotated points
(~100 points per annotated instance) and `dp_masks` field, which encodes
coarse segmentation into the same 14 parts as in DensePose COCO.

`image_url` field in the annotations.

### Chart-based Annotations

Chart-based DensePose Chimps annotations correspond to the human model shown in Figure 2,
the instances are thus annotated to belong to the `person` category.
They include `dp_x`, `dp_y`, `dp_I`, `dp_U` and `dp_V` fields for annotated points
(~3 points per annotated instance) and `dp_masks` field, which encodes
foreground mask in RLE format.

Chart-base DensePose Chimps annotations are used for validation only.

### Continuous Surface Embeddings Annotations

Continuous surface embeddings annotations for DensePose Chimps
include `dp_x`, `dp_y` and `dp_vertex` point-based annotations
(~3 points per annotated instance), `dp_masks` field with the same
contents as for chart-based annotations and `ref_model` field
which refers to a chimpanzee 3D model `chimp_5029`.

The dataset is split into training and validation subsets.

<p class="image-caption">

</p>

DensePose LVIS dataset contains segmentation and DensePose annotations for animals
on images from the [LVIS dataset](https://www.lvisdataset.org/dataset).
The images are available for download through the links:
[train2017](http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/train2017.zip),
[val2017](http://images.cocodataset.org/zips/val2017.zip).

### Continuous Surface Embeddings Annotations

Continuous surface embeddings (CSE) annotations for DensePose LVIS
include `dp_x`, `dp_y` and `dp_vertex` point-based annotations
(~3 points per annotated instance) and a `ref_model` field
which refers to a 3D model that corresponds to the instance.
Instances from 9 animal categories were annotated with CSE DensePose data:
bear, cow, cat, dog, elephant, giraffe, horse, sheep and zebra.

Foreground masks are available from instance segmentation annotations
(`segmentation` field) in polygon format, they are stored as a 2D list
`[[x1 y1 x2 y2...],[x1 y1 ...],...]`.

We used two datasets, each constising of one training (`train`)
and validation (`val`) subsets: the first one (`ds1`)
was used in [Neverova et al, 2020](https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.12438).
The second one (`ds2`), was used in [Neverova et al, 2021]().

`#cat` - number of categories in the dataset for which annotations are available;

`#img` - number of images with annotations in the dataset;

`#segm` - number of segmentation annotations;

`#dp` - number of DensePose annotations.


Important Notes:

1. The reference models used for `ds1_train` and `ds1_val` are
`bear_4936`, `cow_5002`, `cat_5001`, `dog_5002`, `elephant_5002`, `giraffe_5002`,
`horse_5004`, `sheep_5004` and `zebra_5002`. The reference models used for
`ds2_train` and `ds2_val` are `bear_4936`, `cow_5002`, `cat_7466`,
`dog_7466`, `elephant_5002`, `giraffe_5002`, `horse_5004`, `sheep_5004` and `zebra_5002`.
So reference models for categories `cat` aind `dog` are different for `ds1` and `ds2`.

2. Some annotations from `ds1_train` are reused in `ds2_train` (4538 DensePose annotations
and 21275 segmentation annotations). The ones for cat and dog categories were remapped
from `cat_5001` and `dog_5002` reference models used in `ds1` to `cat_7466` and `dog_7466`
used in `ds2`.

3. All annotations from `ds1_val` are included into `ds2_val` after the remapping
procedure mentioned in note 2.

4. Some annotations from `ds1_train` are part of `ds2_val` (646 DensePose annotations and
1225 segmentation annotations). Thus one should not train on `ds1_train` if evaluating on `ds2_val`.
