Human Pose Estimation with TensorFlow

Here you can find the implementation of the Human Body Pose Estimation algorithm, presented in the DeeperCut and ArtTrack papers:

Prerequisites

The implementation is in Python 3 and TensorFlow. We recommended using conda to install the dependencies. First, create a Python 3.6 environment:

conda create -n py36 python=3.6
conda activate py36

Then, install basic dependencies with conda:

conda install numpy scikit-image pillow scipy pyyaml matplotlib cython

Install TensorFlow and remaining packages with pip:

pip install tensorflow-gpu easydict munkres

When running training or prediction scripts, please make sure to set the environment variable TF_CUDNN_USE_AUTOTUNE to 0 (see this ticket for explanation).

If your machine has multiple GPUs, you can select which GPU you want to run on by setting the environment variable, eg. CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0.

Demo code

Single-Person (if there is only one person in the image)

# Download pre-trained model files
$ cd models/mpii
$ ./download_models.sh
$ cd -

# Run demo of single person pose estimation
$ TF_CUDNN_USE_AUTOTUNE=0 python3 demo/singleperson.py

Multiple People

# Compile dependencies
$ ./compile.sh

# Download pre-trained model files
$ cd models/coco
$ ./download_models.sh
$ cd -

# Run demo of multi person pose estimation
$ TF_CUDNN_USE_AUTOTUNE=0 python3 demo/demo_multiperson.py

Training models
